They used one of these in the latest James Bond movie - I thought it was just very good SFX!

Take look at this short video from PBS.
This is program about a touch-table.
It is Google-earth on steroids.   
About half way in the video it shows Iran's nuclear facility and 
does an interesting thing.
It moves the satellite pictures as a function of time
and lets you see what  has been happening there.  ( interesting)
You  can watch live Air Traffic, track crime in the city or state and
of course games.
Only $59,000 for this beautiful coffee table of the future.
