Ok, we all know the new apple IPhone is very cool, especially if you’re like me and are interested in new User Interfaces (UI) it really looks like it’s way ahead of other devices, and for me thats really encouraging, it’s just the way our devices should be going, getting much much easier to use.
Wouldn’t the best device be one that came with no instructions, one that had an interface so intuitive that, you just knew how to work it, and if you didn’t, it knew and helped you, science fiction ?
Take a look at this, Jeff Han showing off his multi touch user interface.
There is a quick ad from Microsoft before the video starts. Jeff Han multi touch user interface video
So where do you think this interface would be usefull ?
By the way the music is a loop taken from the great film, What the bleep do we know, very worth checking out especially the quantum edition.

With information like this you can adjust and tweak your individual pages to their maximum potential. Up to now this kind of technology has been pretty exclusive and EXPENSIVE, but not anymore.
