You think this thing is color accurate?

Indeed. Agreed. As I had mentioned in my opening remark.

My comment was most directed at the choice of what the video actually showed. Like the old saying about lipstick on a pig… the lipstick is the future potential of the idea. The clunky pig is what I perceived in the video itself.

Can you imagine to put this kind of display on a table on a wedding to present the photo booth and reception pictures you took a couple of minutes ago!? Great idea to let the wedding guests merge and move the images with a fingertip. But I agree with Sean. It looked slow an clunky!

Apple is not able (or willing) to build color accurate displays!

I think the main reason for the sluggishness of the software in the video is that the hardware it’s running on probably wasn’t selected for photo editing. Adding to the fact that the Surface has been pretty much a demonstration tool rather than an actual workstation or consumer product makes me think that when people actually start to buy these devices the hardware will catch up to the software.

I’m sure it’s more elegantly usable than appears in this video, but…

…what does appear looks slow and clunky. As one example, even the finger drawing of the circle looks computationally slow and makes the entire product look unappealing.
