add touch and have twistable screens to use them in tablet or notebook
style. Intel is set to introduce a [1]new Classmate netbook with a
twistable screen and touchscreen at the CES 2009. Back in October Asus
said it was planning to introduce touchscreen Asus Eee netbooks in early
2009. Asus is exhibiting at the CES Unveiled pre-show that takes place
on
January 6th. Expect the Asus Eee Touch to be unveiled then. Gigabyte has
outrun all of them with the Intel Atom-powered [2]M912V that has been on
the market for a while. Adding a touchscreen is rather easy. More
difficult is to offer a touch-optimized UI. Let's see what the netbook
vendors are going to invest on the software side."
