I really like the concept. I've been frustrated by slideware nearly everywhere I've encountered it, be it academic or industry events. Sure, it makes it pretty hard to demonstrate software and such things, but hey, how about build an embedded device to show the things you want it to show? Or even draw on the flipboard for you. This conference is all about intelligent objects. On a more serious note, this should make it easier to adapt the presentation to the audience. You no longer have the option to hide behind your slides or to fear that you won't get to the last slide in time. It will scare off a number of decent presenters (as jrockway said here) but it will also scare all but the very hardcore marketing types. Would probably give startups an edge though (used to pitching without materials).
