This is a pretty impressive example of how the right apps can leverage multi-touch really, really well (give it a minute to load up) –

Living with the Windows 7 Beta, you always feel the lack of truly exciting multi-touch apps. When videos like this pop up, its a reminder of how much potential multi-touch, and by extension Windows 7, holds.

Here are a few multi-touch apps I’d like to see for Windows 7 -

1. The really cool photo gallery app in all the early Windows 7 multi-touch demos. 
2. Apps like Health Vault.  
3. Apps that let people do things together.

It’d also be good to have a Windows App Store.

In terms of Health, the opportunity is immense, and there are two advances I’ve been watching with interest -

1. Companies building gadgets specifically for the Health industry and/or taking existing technology and leveraging it for healthcare. The video above is a good example. 
2. Google consolidating health records from various pharmacies and trying to create a global repository of patient records.
