    To surf the internet with, listen to music, do some research etc. Its also helpful for track events if someone forgets the real baton. I just give them my laptop to use.

    That keyboard would be AWFUL to use. No tactile feedback whatsoever, and not being able to tell if you're pressing the right key without looking!

    While the tech behind it is sweet, I just don't see myself getting/wanting one of those.

    Yeah sure, like touchscreen PCs, mp3 players, flash drives or laser mice. 10 years ago all 3 were sci-fi, today you can buy them, so I would not say it will be a long time.

    Nice to have since it's very techy, but definitely not for gaming. I imagine this will be a revolutionary thing, as OLED may be the next technology for LED/LCD and SSD drives for SATA, etc.

    Fake.

    XP? XPS Baton? .....

    Oh, and that background (grey bit) is from a Project Red wallpaper from Dell. I doubt they would use that.
