has anyone on here ever seen a touch screen display hooked up and working with a mac? i would really like to use my mini as a digital juke box, but my dad is technologicly disadvantaged, so i figured having iTunes boot into start up and a touch screen to scrool through coverflow would be good for him. does anyone else have some ideas?
Got a tip for us?

Thank you for that link, I am drooling over these babys. I dont see why apple hasn't done a touch screen yet. It just seems so natural for the imac.
I'm just going to wait for Apple to release this as their new Mac / OS. Now that's a touch screen.
That was freaking amazing. I can see a kid 10 years from now "you have to press buttons? Thats like a babies toy!"
Yep - it's only a matter of time. The Macs of the future will be like that, but it will take a few years. We can also look forward to holographic displays - soon, physical monitors will be a thing of the past as well.
Just bought the HP iq770 over the imac..... because of the touch screen desktop and waiting for the next big thing to come out from mac
and waiting for the next big thing to come out from maciq770
i was looking at the iq770 for the job, does iTunes work ok on Vista yet? But i think the iq770 is a little much when i can get a mini, and screen for under 1500

How do you like that HP, I've been busy fantasizing about an iMac with this, so I haven't actually gone out and checked it out. Is it uncomfortable using it at a desk?Just bought the HP iq770 over the imac..... because of the touch screen desktop
One thing I don't quite get is that everyone talks about this being in the distant future concerning Macs, but it is already a shipping product for other companies, and Apple has R+D into MultiTouch already, why should it be so far off.
Just out of curiosity when they modify these macs they are just affixing a clear touch screen over the screen and then connecting it to the appropriate location on the motherboard? Have there been any DIY projects or is it only companies that do this?
The HP Touchsmart is amazing, it been a few years that i have not touched a PC.... and well Vista makes me feel at home...touch screen is amazing, Vista has been flawless....and all the extras makes it really fun.... I will always love macs.....but must say Vista is nicer then i thought, This is very quick, faster page loads, and just Quick....
Reallyy sorry to say I am not missing my mac........
