We've heard that the touch intece

"The most intriguing thing about Apple's rumored tablet isn't its form factor or potential to reinvigorate print media, it's the one piece of information no one seems to know: How will we interact with it.If the New York Times knows what they're talking about, and they should, then interaction with the tablet will be what blows everyone away.That very important tidbit of information came to the Times via a ""recently departed replica Tag Heuer WJ1111.BA0570 Men's Watch Apple employee"" and showed up buried in a December article in the .""You will be very surprised how you interact with the new tablet,"" the source said.And I couldn't stop thinking about that.

We've heard that the touch intece will be much more precise in the tablet, but touching and Apple go hand-in-hand these days.Voice control could be upgraded as well, but the iPhone 3Gs already introduced a rudimentary form of that, so not a real stunner if it happens.So what then, could be this surprising new way of interacting with the tablet?

Perhaps, the tablet's surprising new interaction is its ability to sense motion through a built-in camera.Imagine laying the device on a table and playing games on it as you would a Microsoft suce computer.Touching to interact, but also motioning above the device to interact.While most developers are steering clear of talking about the tablet this week, at least one developer source tells us that Electronic Arts' efforts to replica Tag Heuer WJ1112.BA0570 Men's Watch create games for the tablet have been met with surprising success.While the tablet suffers from some framerate issues, we're told, developers at EA feel that the tablet will be a ""superb games platform"" with better graphics capability than expected and a surprisingly sharp touch screen.
