This is a cool demo of a multi-touch interface. It would be nice to see this tech in DS "2" down the line. We all talked about the possibilities of using the touch screen for game specific controls when the DS was announced, but the single point registration of normal touch interfaces makes that impractical. This type of interface could move both thumbs onto the screen, among other playstyles, for interesting new games.

Even cooler would be a tablet based system with a larger screen for strategy/board games.
 
I want this to be the futue of PCs. I want to sit down with a huge screen in front of my and operate everything with a combination of touch, mouse, and stylus. RTS games would be amazing.

And you'd have to eat your snacks with chopsticks :)
 
RTS on my tablet pc is so nice. Even something simple like Sims2 or Rollercoaster Tycoon work incredibly well.
 
Yea, this was already posted, but its more of an Apple story. However, it is possible Apple could work with Nintendo in licensing the technology.
 
Looks awesome but for an screen that big. I think that the succesor of the DS will continue the idea of the two screens, but with other interface.
