Microsoft's "Original" Idea...Surfaces
Pointing to my previous post, this is exactly the kind of "stealing" I'm talking about. Microsoft has released what they claim is an industry first multi-touch system, which is an outright lie. Apple showed off similar features in their iPhone months ago, and better than that, Jeff Han demonstrated the possibilities of multi-touch over a year ago with his company's work at Perceptive Pixel.
Oh, but Microsoft claims they've been working on this for 5 years...just like the Zune was developed but unreleased before the iPod, right?
