There are a lot of nice things in the concept. It would be great to
see this on a tall, rather than wide, screen. If you stack the windows
vertically rather than horizontally, you wouldn't need to have that
sideways text, which kind of drives me nuts. Or, like the iPhone, have
a display that you can rotate and have the UI adapt appropriately.
I've always wanted this to become mainstream for desktop displays.
The basis of much of Apple's multi-touch technology (laptop trackpads,
iPhone) was from buying out Fingerworks. They had some interesting
products (like a keyboard replacement that also serves as one, big
gesture input device) that had a lot more power than what Apple has
used in their products so far. You can still get a lot of info about
their old stuff here: www.fingerworks.com. It will be interesting to
see how they integrate this over time and if they start to make more
substantive changes to the desktop OS (like in your proposal), rather
than just handy shortcuts (like they do now with the laptop trackpads).
