I had a chance to take a brief look at the touch screen…
…aimed at the K-12 educational market with its optional touch screen, rubberized surface, optional carrying handle (I wish all netbooks had one!), and optional anti-microbial keyboard.
It is basically a low-end kid-friendly version of the Dell Mini 10 (N270 processor and 10.1″ screen). This one was running Windows XP although Windows 7 (and Ubuntu Linux too) is available for it from Dell. Its touch screen seemed less responsive than the Asus Eee PC T91MT I’ve been using for the past week. I’m not sure if this is an artifact of the screen or because it used Windows XP instead of Windows 7.
Its keyboard felt pretty good. And, it was nice to see actual hardware buttons for controlling sound volume and mute.
