Isn't this already possible with the iPhone?

yes it sure is - I think the slant they were going for, is a streaming/on-demand app linked in to a massive content provider, but other then that if you have a little bit of time and a little bit of handbrake, you can be that 'v for vendetta' guy (although your battery might not make it)

The Minority Report display/control is never going to work. At least not in generic situations. Unless you are Mr. Bodybuilder, you are going to get tired of holding your arms out all day.
