Sensors are good for navigation on a normal screen if you can actually pinpoint and track properly without having to make the people get super close to the screen constantly. You also run into the logistical problem of the entire 2d and 3d graphics community being based around mice and that would be very hard to replace (i mean graphically you could make the thing like a giant wacom thing but you'd need to be able to set how it tracks (IE only one point at a time and it needs to be able to recognize this...) I think there may be a palce for it in computing to a degree but its unlikely that this will ever phase ou the mouse completely The one problem with these touch designs is alot of them arnt built for gaming and likely wont even run games properly….

And as for the whole multi-touch technology, i can't wait untill Microsoft 7, comes out. I believe in Gates when he says the days of the mouse are numbered. i would love to see some revolutionalise the mouse.
