In case you haven't guessed it will be the Apple tablet scheduled to be release in April.
Eye tracking? I'm out. I have a condition called nystagmus which causes my eyes to oscillate back and forth, blurring my vision. The wikipedia page for pathologic nystagmus suggestions getting drunk can induce it also (no I don't drink and if I did, I doubt I would notice a difference but I would find it funny if an officer ordered a breathalyzer because of it.). Interesting if the device doesn't work when the user is drunk.
