Carol Mangis has a bit of a recap of Apple and Microsoft’s multi touch launches this year. She sings the praises of multi touch, and specifically MS Surface. A little tidbit of info that has escaped us until now was that Surface uses a barcode like technology (called Domino) to identify devices you want it to interact with.
This makes sense, and certainly simplifies things technically. However, until that technology is built into devices, it seems like a stop gap measure. Having to put a two cent sticker on the bottom of your device so the $10,000 Surface computer can interact with it seems a little silly to us.
