I won't deny that the iPhone is a wonderful device, and indeed for handheld devices multitouch is an much-needed innovation. However, I was not referring to the iPhone; my tirade of sorts was directed at the subject of Charlie's post, the gigantic television with multi-touch, which in my opinion is just plain redundant. It may be useful and cool to be able to zoom in and out of an image by pinching your fingers on a phone, but on something as big as a television, when a mouse an keyboard are available, multitouch seems like little more than an interesting novelty.

If it was in real time, it would cost millions to have a camera streaming and focusing its camera at one spot, and Google Earth pulls pre-stitched photos, not updates. Fail. I hate it just for the crappy booth guy

Not if the touch screen (and the underlying OS) is made for it. The sensitivity of the iPhone's touchscreen and how it relates to its OS is a perfect example of how it should work correctly. As far as smudges are concerned, you have to divorce yourself from the idea that screens aren't meant to be touched in fear of a smudge. Believe me, the usefulness of a good touchscreen and matching OS far outweighs the smudge factor.

I bet if touchscreens had come first right now CES would be abuzz with talk of a new technology called the "mouse" that would revolutionise computers by allowing to control a cursor on the screen with only one hand, doing away with the tiring and wasteful movements! Woohoo!
