    Don't be fooled by the touch screen stuff. Sh1t. That's how you operate a PDA witha stylus. They're just using their hands/fingers as a stylus.

    What's frightening is how they turn a game like Warcraft into a fun activity (in the context of it looking like a real world battle especially after demo-ing google earth navigation). What immediately springs to mind are scenes from some submarine romp like The Hunt for Red October where they strategise on a screen.

    Seems to make war too easy.

    You usually can't select two independant spaces at the same time on a stylus.
