Wow, listen to this. Bill Gates' latest toy has been released; to apparently compete against all the high-tech games consoles and Apples ipod and iphone products.

It's called the touch screen and is similar to the screen used for some ATM's or at check ins at airports.

Except, as one would imagine, a good deal more advanced. In the example shown on the short television report, it showed the user sitting at a 76cm screen, just as one would at a table and using his fingers to move various pages around the screen.

Another example demonstrated the downloading of digital photos. One simply sets the camera on the screen and wham, the images within simply fan out across the screen (to be manipulated in any way the user chooses I expect.

Underneath the screen, lies the computer and five cameras which presumably follow the users hand movements and anything placed on the screen.

Far out Bill, what WILL you think of next? Maybe the next generation computer will come with a teasmaid hoho.
