I'm trying not to say the word but Alas! popularity demands that I blurt out that HP will be introducing the iPhone-style touchscreen technology into its notebook range. They are gearing to launch the range in the next 18 months. I wonder why people are not satisfied using just the term touchscreen! "We're focused on recognizing the potential of touch now. We see touch as the almost preferred method for nontechnical users" Phil McKinney, chief technology officer, Personal Systems Group, HP.
