Microsoft Surface vs Apple Multitouch
Over the next through years an epic battle will commence between touch sensitive technologies. Apple's multitouch is currently employed with their very popular iPhone & iPod Touch handheld devices and now on their trackpads on their aluminum MacBooks. Microsoft have been developing a table top touch sensitive application called Microsoft Surface. Their surface system, or an idea based on it have appeared in many film recently including 007 Quantum of Solace. So in the future say good bye to the stylus!
