Apple Tablet?

Apple recently filed this patent that describes a hand-gesture recognizing multi-touch interface.  If this is the technology behind the rumored Apple Tablet, I'm exited.  This means that the whole thing will be much like the muli-touch table interfaces we have seen on various windows platforms, and hopefully not just a very large iTouch.  The display also looks promising for things like user-profile specific keyboards and and very customizable interfaces.  Nothing is confirmed yet, but the tablet at least is in the 90% probability range!
