Nice big monitors are appreciated when relaxing in your nice comfy chairs, however adding touch screen to them means getting up close and personal. Now is a good time to buy extendable sticks of some sort so you dont have to move from the comfort of your tilting armchair maybe we could call them iFingers? or iPointers? :)

Single-touch display?
Technology from the 90s D:
Single-touch with Windows 7 will eventually leave a lot of people feeling like they've wasted their hard-earned cash on an inferior product that can not exploit the full potential of Windows 7.

Surely it's called an iProd?
