And no, I'm not talking about gestational control. Sheesh. Get out of the gutter, people. For all my bitching about the iPhone, there is one piece of tech that I hope lives on even if the iPhone becomes another Newton - multi-touch controls.

Anybody who has seen Minority Report knows what I'm talking about: the scenes where Tom Cruise uses an interface that consists of a reflective display screen and his fingertips to manipulate images and interact with data. I always felt that was really cool.

Well, seems other people think it's cool too and I am drooling in anticipation when they announce that the tech is available. Me? I'm just waiting for an input device that allows 3rd party application development with a free API.... so I can plug that up to my PC and have fun video or photo editing. Or writing blog entries - wait, maybe forget that last one.

Still don't know what I'm talking about? Try this and this.
