Citaat van Omega192:

as far as "significant R&D and engineering" goes, capacitive tech has been around for ages, a simple array of sensors isn't anything novel.

And yet multi-touch has never been properly implemented until recently, with Apple and a handful of other companies finally getting it right. Don't underestimate what went into it.

There really isn't anything in this that justifies the ridiculous price tag.

Okay, but here's Logitech's current Bluetooth laser offering, and it's $59.99

$9 for a multi-touch surface, with the ability for future expansion in gestures and features, like the trackpads, seems like more than a fair price. Bumping up to a USB darkfield laser is $20. There's nothing new or innovative in a darkfield laser by your standards, and yet it's double the price? Clearly there's a disconnect there.
