Cool. Now if they make controls for GES, ill buy that anyday!



My friend said if it has wireless capability it would be great for HTPC. Sounds right!

Doesn't seem too impressive, just a touch screen with changing background and raised ridges on the touch part.

It actually seems a little TOO restrictive. Very basic graphics and no distinct difference in feel between the "pad-stick" mode and the keyboard mode. How do you know if you move your thumb outside of the defined green circle when using it? You don't, and thats the critical failure.

I agree with mr. killermonkey, it looks more like an inconvenience than anything else.  It doesn't seem to have any sort of alternative function other than being a weird touch pad thing, and I don't think I've ever found my self in the predicament of needing to use a computer with no keyboard present.

They need to start working on brain implants that wirelessly connects to USB and can control your mouse cursor.

Fun fact: this is actually technologically feasible and possible. But you would probably have to have the implant from birth/early childhood for it to work effectively.

This tech has a place but it is not gaming.

The idea is for something like cars..  your car radio would morph so you can feel where buttons are with out having to look.

Assuming you can't take a keyboard, mouse, mousepad, monitor, speakers, and PC tower with you wherever you go, this is the next-best thing.
