Apple Hinting At Touch Based Tablet

Is it just me or does the new function called stacks in os x leopard seem like a hint at a tablet device? Imagine holding a tablet-y device from the bottom corners and using your thumbs to hit the stack button.

Is it just me or does the new function called stacks in os x leopard seem like a hint at a tablet device? I have been pondering this ever since I saw the Leopard website put up. I could see the arch of the stack as a response to a finger or thumb based support hint. Imagine holding a tablet-y device from the bottom corners and using your thumbs to hit the stack button. Anyone else see it?

Let me know what you think…
