Mobile Linux device stack gains motion detection

,----[ Quote ]
| Trolltech is extending its Qtopia embedded Linux development platform with 
| iPhone-like motion control. Thanks to a partnership with motion-control 
| software firm F-Origin, Qtopia developers will soon be able to trick out 
| their mobile devices with interfaces that respond to landscape/portrait 
| rotation, gestures, and gravity.

| The little gadget was bootleg gold, a secret treasure I'd spent months 
| tracking down. The miniOne looked just like Apple's iPhone, down to the slick 
| no-button interface. But it was more. It ran popular mobile software that the 
| iPhone wouldn't. It worked with nearly every worldwide cellphone carrier, not 
| just AT&T, and not only in the U.S. It promised to cost half as much as the 
| iPhone and be available to 10 times as many consumers.

Linux MPX Multi-touch Table May Become Alternative Microsoft Surface

,----[ Quote ]
| It may not be as fancy-schmancy as Microsoft Surface or Jeff Han's demos but 
| this video of a Linux-based MPX multi-touch table shows that things are 
| moving full speed ahead in the land of the free penguins.

Multi-touch support for MPX [in Linux]

,----[ Quote ]
| MPX already supported multiple input devices. Which blows pretty much all 
| assumptions in user interfaces (input) out of the water. Now I've gone one 
| step further and added support for multi-touch displays. Have a look at this 
| video...

Microsoft Rips off Researchers at Pompeu Fabra University of Barcelona

,----[ Quote ]
| Recently while on vacation I was flipping channels and came across a 
| channel called “current TV”, what caught my eye was a  computer  booting 
| to Kubuntu. This computer looked remarkably like Microsoft’s new 
| Surface touch table. Funny thing is the reactable has been around 
| over three years and research has been going on much longer than that.

Jeff Han's Research Ripped by Microsoft Surface?

,----[ Quote ]
| Jeff Han, consulting research scientist for NYU's Department of 
| Computer Science, developed a multi-touch interactive graphical 
| interface, which he presented at the TED conference over a year 
| ago. His research turned into its own company, Perceptive Pixel.
| 
| Now it seems Microsoft completely ripped the idea and created 
| Microsoft Surface.
