Idea: iPad As A Surface

In a lot of ways, the iPad is just a multitouch wrapper for everything you do. Potential use case:

An interface for a more powerful machine. I would love the ability to edit text the way I described in TangibleText on my main machine via an iPad. Especially if coupled with software along the lines of Synergy to enable seamless transitions ( of not only mouse and keyboard but a full range of applications) across operating systems. This could be really simple, but powerful, to apply to audio and visual editing as well.

Sure, it’s a very expensive interface, but there are instances where that could be worth it.
