The touch-smart PC has a nice touch-friendly media interface, but typing up those word documents?, navigate around the desktop? use excel, etc...etc...

the PC does not have a touch friendly interface. One of the reason's it is successful in the mobile market is the devices have already been designed for touch input. The finger is just a natural evolution from the stylus.

Touch is a gimmick right now on netbooks or laptops and PCs. Until the entire GUI is totatly remade Touch will never take off.

end of story.

It works like a charm allowing me to drag and drop video clips into the timeline and drag them around, its very intuitive. I can cradle the unti on my left arm and use my right with the stylus pen, its just like using a clipboard and a pen.

This is especially good for mobile use when I don't have a desk to lay the laptop on.

I wouldn't consider a touchscreen desktop though unless its a standing workstation in an industrial factory or kitchen environment. ]]>Oct 15th 2009 10:28AM
