Most people tend to think it is fake because the screen ripples like an LCD when he touches it. I only see ripples when he touches the dock, even though he obviously hits the screen pretty hard in other places so it may just be a dock effect.

If it is fake, he went to a lot of trouble to make things fly around the screen.

It appears to run iPhone apps as widgets. I'd bet it would be able to run its own apps as well. OSX apps? Not sure how you could get most osx apps running with multitouch anyway, so doubtful.

Enjoy!

Fakearooni. Not even a good one. Interesting that all those pictures were obviously iPhone screenshots.

You didn't appreciate the accelerated flick across the screen? I thought that took some quality effort.

Their extra effort on the flicks was mitigated by the fact that you never even saw much of the guy's hand. That made it VERY hard to believe anything I was seeing. A "good" fake should look real from more than two inches away from the screen. Yeah, I'm kinda jaded that way.

That wasn't even an accelerated flick, what are you talking about? It was a keynote presentation essentially with a whole bunch of motion paths.
