This was very evident in the early
HP TouchSmart PC's which were expensive and failed to deliver a good touch screen experience.
Today, PC vendors have another problem, in the form of Apple, who not only own some of the best touch technology patents in the world but have demonstrated with their iPhone and their iPod Touch that their touch screen technology actually works with it becoming the benchmark by which touch screens are judged.

Just as we were about to do our review of the HP offering, we got our hands on a brand new all-in-one Medion Akoya P4010D touch screen. Medion are a German company who only sells their product in Australia via Aldi stores. This is an almost identical product to the HP offering.
