This is pretty awesome. I hope the Microsoft Courier is for real. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9sTgLYH8qWs&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9sTgLYH8qWs&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> http://www.istartedsomething.com/20100409/microsoft-research-manual-deskterity-synergy-pen-touch/
This does look awesome.... but this is too good to be true for the Courier. If the Courier does come out with all of the rumors that have been shown.... I'm definitely buying one.
I hope the tablets have enough video or processing power to be able to handle this kind of application smoothly. Since this is a research project but I hope this video is old. As for the Courier it's supposed to release at the end of the year hopefully like their Windows Phone 7.
Wow. Very nice, very intuitive and natural. Sometimes I find myself wanting to touch my laptop screen to zoom or scroll, ala iPhone. This would do the trick nicely. Dang- I just checked and a Surface costs $12,500.
