<i>Even the supposedly sealed iPad sits close enough to our laps for us want to make something, even if it’s just finger paintings.</i><p>"Just finger paintings?"  I saw a lot of potential in what Brushes is doing.  Another HN poster deprecated the finger interface because it wasn't capable of "precision pointing."  Any designer worth their salt can think of a way around that in about 30 seconds.  (A gesture where you have crosshairs between your fingers, combined with a zoomed-view, much like a sniper scope in a FPS.)<p>There's no reason why a multitouch interface can't subsume most of what we want to do with computers.  The last barrier is text input.  And a small Bluetooth keyboard like Apple's seems like a dandy solution to me!<p>Prediction: Interfaces as light and unobtrusive as a pad of paper will change the way we use computers.
