Yes, many of the ideas have been around for over 20 years, but no-one has really brought them to the mass market yet. Even the great Satan in Redmond isn’t doing that – maybe Apple will get it right in the iPhone soon – a mass market device with multi-touch.

Ok, they have multiple touch and do many OSX / VISTA type shiny things but aside of the funky hardware nothing they are showing appears to be significantly inovative.
