Today is touch day! The iPhone launches today and consumers will start to learn about mobile Internet. Its a good thing for UMPCs because by the time those 2 year contracts are up (or that battery wears out!) the consumer UMPCs will be ready to sweep up. Possibly! Here’s a video I missed. Its a Midinux demo showing touch scrolling. Its a small part of a complete operating system and yet somehow it feels extremely important. ultra mobile PC vendors need to capitalize on the touch elements in their marketing over the next year.
The i7210 has an e-galax touchscreen I believe. That means Midinux could work on all Q1’s (not Ultras), R2H and the ECS/founder/variants. There are probably others using the e-galax screen and a possibility that RedFlag has built in drivers for other devices.
