The technology sounds really impressive, but in my office, every fingerprint on the screen leaves a distracting silver spot because it kills the effectiveness of the anti-reflection coating. As a result, if I had such a touch-(un)panel technology, I'd definitely want some kind of stylus or glove to prevent leaving smudges on my screen. Either that, or someone'll have to invent a new fingerprint proof antiglare coating. Doug Jones jones@cs.uiowa.edu
