You can turn its LCD screen like those Tablet PCs and uses your handwritting skill to interact with the system. Yes, the screen is touch sensitive. And it supports thumb operation as well, eventough I’m not really sure what the hell is thumb op. Other thing that I’m not sure is the estimated price and availability since there’s no words about it on their website.
