    Looks very impressive but how long until the average user gets fed up and goes back to mouse and keyboard?

    Any innovation is good.

    But I think this is a bit of a gimmick.

    I'd want to rest my hand on either my knees (when I'm sitting) or arms on the table. Even if I were to use touchscreen, my arms would be supported by my thigh or knees.

    Windows 8 tablet interface is not built for desktop but for touchscreens.

    Apologies for assuming it was an MS product. Its just being launched by a start up and i have it on my favorites from last year. pre order is 79.99USD + Postage. Probably be blocked in HK from getting it if they put it up on Amazon.

    What is it about discontinued technology that makes GeoExpaters act like it's Xmas morning? On a related note, I've got a fax machine I'm willing to let go for the right price.

    Please Moving, I beg you, don't get it. Otherwise Geo will not hear the end of it when you have problems using it.

    If this could be programmed with the following macro I'd get a dozen or so of these for office use / use by moderators.

    1) Point to post on our forums.
    2) Raise middle finger - post gets deleted
    3) Raise both middle fingers - post gets deleted and user gets banned
