There is a lot of potential for this, and a lot things stupid about this. For one thing, to echo the comments that were made when the original video of the technology was making the rounds, computers are supposed to help reduce clutter and disorganization. Watching the videos, the way photos are handled has got to be one of the least attractive aspects of this product. And then there's the fact this is extremely cost prohibitive. The counters have got to be at least the cost of some of the biggest LCD TVs out today. I'm baffled as to why they seem to be marketing this technology to the home consumer when they really ought to be concentrating in businesses who may actually be able to afford it. I could see some nice restaurants or 5 star hotels potentially being interested in this. Or, as fresnelly mentioned, it could be useful for CAD. Splitting the check was cool, and using it to compare products was also neat (although I guess that would mean more and more products would get RFID tags, which is not neat). But the home consumer? Between the cost and how the product gets rid of some of the most basic benefits of computers, I'm not sure too many people would actually be interested in buying it.
