Touch Screen Desks?

As if we were not hooked up to the internet along with emails, Facebook, and internet fax services, here comes the desktop that is hooked up and a touch screen. The EXODesk demo didn’t involve a computer built into a display: The screen was hooked up to a Windows 7 PC that was tucked out of the way. The EXO UI looks nothing like stock Windows 7: You navigate by tapping a pop-up cluster of circles.The features I saw at ViewSonic’s booth included practical stuff (a calendar) and fun stuff such as a musical keyboard and an air hockey game. Samsung’s new Surface table is $8,400; EXOPC plans to sell EXODesk units, but not including the PC, for just $1,300, in a version aimed at people who want to develop apps for its user interface. It hopes to roll out a version for the rest of us later this year. Would you find this tool useful or not?
