Linux Multitouch Screen

I found this YouTube link for a Linux-based Multi-touch screen device via Gawker. This device seems somewhat similar to Microsoft Surface that I was bubbling about earlier.

I really think that these types of devices/computers will change the way we travel, shop and interact with information. The past 5 years we have seen a lot of focus on handheld gadgets. Historically, we are used to interacting with larger pieces of technology for entertainment. I don’t think that the leap is that big – we already interact with gaming machines, ATMs, kiosks and other large computing objects.

I think we’re going to start seeing these devices everywhere soon. That being said, I’m not very good at predicting the future. In fact, I thought that tablet PCs would be ubiquitous by now.
