You just never know, things might take a large shift towards the 'pretty'.. I myself am totally happy with iPeng and if I had a touchscreen, I guess I'd use squeezeplay or Moose or just be happy with SC which is somehow attractive in a pickup truck, get the job done, down home punch kind of way.. (I find command lines and Germain Greer attractive so for sure don't base your stylistic choices on my opinions.) And at $8000+ for a sooloos, I'm sorry but they can go and get ****ed. It's a beautiful device but by geez, pricey much? Wicked party trick but for that money I could put a new set of tyres on my Maybach :S My guess is touchscreen computing will really stabilise in the next year or so. I look forward to the tussle between companies do touchscreen/app-driven devices taking on traditional mac/pc type providers. I think iPhone and appstore is proof that the terrain is shifting to reading device/app machines and away from traditional PCs and the new fad netbooks. When I bought my eeebox a few weeks ago, I was shopping for a touchscreen. Here in Delhi the choices are not huge, but there were several perfectly reasonable options. In the end I wound up going the budget route but there are many ways to go. A simple tablet laptop PC spun around and wall mounted being one. The future is bright. Gotta wear shades. An outside guess? I think we should wait for a mac 'touch', about the size of a thin paperback, with cradle and stand. For using apps/reading/netbooking stuff.
