If the above picture is anything to go by, this could be very exciting. After our iPod Touch 'buttonless' capactive home button, we expressed how it'd be pretty swish if Apple found a way of using the space around the device in intuitive gesture controls. Now, we're not saying it was our idea, because, well, it wasn't, but it seems Apple agrees, and now these patents have come to light!
If the proposed product happens, it could very well change the way we receive notifications, messages, heck, the entire way we use the iDevice.
Let's hope it actually happens, eh.
