Touchscreen on Desktop/Laptop is a TERRIBLE idea, which you'd know if you'd spent any amount of time trying it and which is probably why MS are having to backtrack with Win10's non-tablet interfaces.
if you've got some light single-handed tablet device, touchscreen is obviously better than a keyboard or a mouse.
I'm no AppleFanboy, but you seem to have entirely ignored all the improvements they've made to gestural multitouch and how big their trackpads have gotten over the past few years. They're assholes at Apple, not idiots.
- I suspect Apple will lead the way in pairing tablets with 'real' computers - creating secondary, quite intelligent, interface formats for your favourite appsdetritus
- Totally agree... i've used my ex windows touch screen and it was pointless. i couldn't imagine trying to use it to actually create anything on.necromation
- detritus, your prediction is reality no later than 2012's MS Surface launch.mekk
- That's not quite what I meant, mekk - I was more thinking a 'Photoshop App' that sits on your tablet and allows slider control, etc.
...detritus - MS did moot SmartGlass a while back, but I'll be damned if I've seen it promoted or out in the wild.
...detritus - Apple have a more coherent ecosystem and better handle on integrative software design (imho) than MS.
I mean Jesus, have you used Win8?
Woeful.detritus - MS showed a concept demo of that glass surface but never developed or released any tech. It was just an idea and it was never real.monospaced
