I agree wholeheartedly on pushing the envelope with prototypes. I disagree with you regarding the 'great use case'.
The level of interaction which is pitched in the video could have been communicated with a static storyboard (and arguably the video is nothing more than a storyboard with slick animations). The mockup shown should have been a opportunity to validate the high level storyboard, instead they gloss over or avoid some fundamentals. That put the bee in my bonnet (o; We're being told that the design is in final stages prototyping and is being pitched around with a possible release mid 2010 (according to some sources, I personally dont believe that to be likely) and as such I suspect its meant to take a little steam out of the iTablet due to be announced 19th Jan. So, thats where I feel I'm justified in prodding the merits of the design a little harder than one would if it was just a high level early stage concept.
