CNN Primary Coverage - Cool touch screen display?
Anyone know what's powering the cool touch screen display CNN is using to zoom in and out of the different districts in New Hampshire? It acts a lot like an iPhone, but also reminds me of Microsoft Surface.

I think it's one of the new Sony IUTwm screens. (InternUnderTableWithMouse)

This is actually Perceptive Pixel Technology by Jefferson Han.

In the hands of an effective and knowledgeable political broadcaster like John King, it gives viewers valueable insights into the shifting vote counts as they come in. It makes an unprecidented neck and neck Super Tuesday contest even more exciting. There are still a few bugs in the system, but I suspect that has more to do with operator comfort with the technology. Just watch. All the major networks will feature one of these by the general election. Kent Ninomiya
