HP TouchSmart PC causes finger frenzy!

Fingers still itching for some touchscreen action after the 3G iPhone? Then look no further than HP’s TouchSmart PC. It’s an upright desktop driven purely by your pinkies.

Don’t be mistaken. This isn’t any old touchscreen PC. It recognises movements and gestures as well as prods and pokes. What’s more, it’s packed with media.

A TV tuner lets you flick through channels using your hands, and widget-esque apps give one-poke access to weather forecasts, photos or music.

There’s a 22-inch model too, with the entire computer housed behind the screen.

Inside there’s a slot-loading DVD drive, and connectors for mouse and keyboard, for those who don’t want to prod the screen.

Added extras include a built-in webcam and n-standard Wi-Fi.
