HP have announced their latest touchscreen desktop computer, the TouchSmart PC, with a 22-inch widescreen display, DVD burner and optional TV tuner. Specs include Intels Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9300 M GS HD graphics card, ATSC Tuner, Bluetooth 2.0, Firewire, wireless networking and memory card slots, together with a webcam and microphone.

The screen of the Touchsmart isn’t touch sensitive; it’s actually a beam of light in front of the screen that recognizes where your finger is when you break the plane of the light beam. The interface, which is all developed within Vista, can be customized in many ways, allowing you to pick from a variety of content to be displayed on the home screen. There’s also a finger painting app, photo browsing and editing app, music player, movie player, RSS aggregator and calendar.
