I like how James Cameron is referenced to bring validity to such an amazing feature. If I grow a ponytail and put it in the usb port, will I be able to "feel" my way around the ui? OrangeGump.

This is from a friend of mine working for Apple:
"The camera in the tablet will recognize where the primary users eyes are and project a stereo image space
Will the tablet really support a "stereo image" in this respect, or will it just be a "3D image" that changes the viewpoint slightly as you move your eyes/head in relation to the tablet?

2010... year of the user interfaces revolution?
gah, come on; We're still using user interface concepts older than the machines at our local banks and government agencies.
Apple doesn't have anything except a rabid fanbase, community is everything for a brand (company) or device.
Even if it does everything as promised I'd still not find myself buying one, watching my eyes? three dimensional? No thanks, my eyes are bad enough as it is, don't point anything at them and for god's sake don't make my eyes focus any worse than they already do. Remember Nintendo's Virtual Boy? Yeah... that went over real well. I for one won't be stressing my eyes out with some cutting edge 3d technology, or even cutting edge 2d technology.
Compiz seemed like a great idea at first but if you ever showed it to older folks and gauged their reaction to it-- it's just utter nonsense to them, the animations are distracting and annoying. I imagine that is how I'll find newer age technologies as they come out. I want my computer to do work efficiently not endlessly bedazzle me.

Awwww poor little OrangeBox.
Aren't you getting the response you wanted.. ?
Heres a little bedtime taking the bait for you:
Yeah, whatever! Apple's all flash, and fischer-price graphics!!1
I mean it'll probably only have 90% fart apps, and nothing else.
I'll stick with my N900 where I'M in control of my device, and can do whatever I want with it. I shouldn't have to jailbreak my device, just to get basic functionality!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
[insert stereotypical comments here]

Interesting if the device doesn't work when the user is drunk.
This is from a friend of mine working for Apple:
"The camera in the tablet will recognize where the primary users eyes are and project a stereo image space thus enabling three dimensional applications. The operating system will be three dimensional and applications will look like magic because they will what Cameron terms "z space" or depth."
In case you haven't guessed it will be the Apple tablet scheduled to be release in April.

I am panicking now!
So does this mean my N900 will stop working in April?
I better start pulling my hair out, start running around and scream like a little girl who just saw a spider!
Thank you orangebox!
