The Future (insert wild choral voices)

I have been marvelling at this for a while so I thought I would share it with you all, just in case you haven't seen it yet.

Recently Apple took out patents for touch screens, adding credence to the heavy rumours circulating of touch screen video iPods. The patents have quite detailed descriptions of how the actual data manipulation may work. Well someone has produced a little mock up of how it could all end up looking.

Nice!



The vid has nothing to do with Apple (though the photo manipulation looks decidedly similar to Apples new pro-ap Aperture). You can check out the patents over at MacRumours.

With Microsoft's new OSX ripoff, Vista, slated for release (finally) at the end of the year, it looks like Apple may be ready to pull the carpet out from underneath them once again by taking things to a whole other level.
