    I doubt touchscreen keyboards will ever be popular. There's no tactile feedback. Try tapping on your desk as if it were a keyboard for a few moments and you'll see why it will never catch on.

    Imagine a touchscreen keyboard with tactile feedback, the soft screen that actually sags when you press it... =) It's a concept however so it hasn't to be true..

    Interesting concept, although we might laugh at this in 2015. :)

    No...it will be Microsoft Windows Hawaii Ultimate Spy Edition!
    (MS's successor to Vista is code-named Fiji I believe)

    I totally agree with Chaz.
    The most futuristic laptop i saw in the movies are in Mission to Mars (or.. something to Mars) which the laptop is like a roll of paper... they just pull the thing out and it becomes a screen...
