JD: Do you feel there's now a race in the multi-touch, multi-user User Interface space? I mean, starting with Han's efforts but now really booming with the iPhone and MS Surface...
PH: My page hits went up quite a bit after announcing touchscreen support, so I think there is quite some demand for touchscreens. How much of a race is it? This is difficult to answer. Being the first one isn't necessarily the most important thing. Jeff Han's input technology was impressing me because it was such a simple idea and it is really easy to build yourself. Multi-touch hardware was suddenly very affordable. He wasn't the first, but he had a huge impact.
