Now with most of the hype taken by the iPhone, here is an interesting video of the Midinux (a version of Linux that would be running on the Intel MID devices) has a special touch to it. Yes a special touch.
Its not multi-touch but this thing is going to be a big debate, Are they coping Apple?(note that what Apple calls multi-touch is actually dual touch and not exactly multi) I guess not, the multi touch has been around for years and Microsoft has been doing research on this for a few years now. Remember the Surface (read the origin). Oh BTW if you are really fascinated by this touch thing, you should check out Perceptive Pixel.

Steve has done a great job on demonstrating the Via based Medion UMPC with Vista and from using it as your main desktop. Take a look at the video below for details.
One thing to note is that I’ve optimised Vista on this UMPC. If you’re using Windows Vista on any UMPC I recommend the following optimisations: Turn off Indexing. Turn off Windows Defender checks. Turn off the anti-phishing filter in Internet explorer. Reduce screen candy (System->Advanced->Performance Settings) and try out the registry mod that the members of Origamiproject have been testing out. I’ve found it to be good at reducing disk activity on this UMPC.
