Beyond Illustrator or that kind of thing, I hate tablet computers.

I'm too lazy to use touch screen, seems like a step backwards for home computing unless you're a pure n00b.

I bought this computer yesterday. I've got HP Touchsmart IQ507. I'm obviously using it as my second computer for multimedia, some TV, some movies and such. It's touch display is awesome and also I've tried some multi-touch developed software from various sources and works perfectly. It has a 4gigs of ram, 500 gigs of disk space, 22" touch display which is truly awesome, wireless keyboard and mouse.. let's see what else.. well it's made for multimedia and as such it'll serve me well - actually it already serves me well.
Since Vista is not supporting multi-touch (apparently they're working on it and should be included in the new windows os in the future) - bunch of people are making some interesting multi-touch software as I mentioned before. Some of them using basic AS3 flash and some of them using Processing. Quite you know.. nice thing. Multi-Practical.
Since I'm using apple products as well (iPhone, iTunes, iPod etc..) I can see what HP had in mind when they were doing this piece of hardware and the appropriating software - they were basically following Apple pattern on how to make things useful and simple...
here's the official site of the computer:

Basically, the reason why I started this topic because I'm interested what others think of this computer?
