HP has a new touchscreen computer in the works called the TouchSmart IQ770. Designed to sit in your kitchen or another common space and act as kind of a central hub for your family, it's a unique type of PC that's designed to be used sans keyboard (even though it does come with a wireless keyboard and mouse).

The TouchSmart is not designed to be a replacement for your standard PC, but is basically a souped-up calendar, message board, and DVD player. Still, it's a really nicely designed computer that I could definitely see being a family's email station and central organizer, allowing everyone to easy access the Internet and basic applications quickly and easily. No word on pricing or availability, but we'll keep our eyes peeled for more info on this as it comes out. — Adam Frucci
