Question about
What do you think this awesome hidden sensor they will be revealing?
Obligatory anti iPad comment: I hope it's an orientation lock sensor that can tell when you do or don't want the orientation locked, so I can laugh at iPad owners.

I wonder if it's a proximity sensor of some kind. And not just for adam-to-adam, but you'll probably pick some bluetooth-ish devices (not sure what sort of "proximity" it'll measure, hmm). I can imagine having some sort of "media server" that adam notices if close enough, and turns the UI into a media-remote a la Logitech Harmony. That's probably a bad example, but you get the point.

Judging by one of his few responses to comments on their blog, it might be a digitizer. Rohan made a (sly) smile emoticon after somebody speculated their certainty of the inclusion of a digitizer. I think it would be useful to have a decent pen interface.

So looks like new clues about the "sensor" are up! Like many of us commented there, I think things are pointing in the direction of IR?!

It was radio, but it has since then been cancelled.
