i'm getting more hopeful. They are putting gestures into conventional touchpads, and gradually making the touch pads bigger. They're patenting plans for a gesture-based tablet pc. Now a gesture-based ipod. It seems to me that they're really running with this multitouch gesture-technology, using it across their product line, even expanding their product line.

That video was pretty cool; and it showed the map zooming and multitouch gesturing that was discussed in the article and patent for the tablet PC, so hopefully that was Apple tech (as was stated). I hope Mr. Jobs is dreaming of gesture input every night. I also hope Westerman and Elias got a truckload of $s, because Apple is definitely cashing in.

well if Jobs doesnt start putting out 0-force keybords soon, i'll have a gesture for him
