Multi-Touch Devices

The iPhone seems to have a variation (two-finger) of this technology. Any other devices presently using it as well?

Another TED talk worth watching is Hans Rosling and his work with Gapminder.

If you have NetFlix, you can watch the TED movie right online (and see Hans Rosling and Jefferson Han interact.)
