 If your lounge is anything like mine, you will soon be looking for a bigger one to accommodate the increasing number of wires, remote controls, and contraptions etc that are encroaching in your space.

Well, worry no more…. The HP TouchSmart range of products is on its way to take over your living room.

To meet the changing ways in which people want to access and enjoy their digital content, HP has introduced its latest innovation in PC design.
The new HP TouchSmart PC IQ770 is the industry's first all-in-one PC based on Microsoft Windows Vista. It provides users with one-touch wireless access to information, communication and entertainment through HP SmartCenter, a new customised user interface that includes HP SmartCalendar for family calendaring and HP PhotoSmart Touch to manage digital photos. Featuring a 19-inch HD widescreen with adjustable touch-screen display, Vista remote control and personal video recorder with HD and SD TV programming, the HP TouchSmart PC IQ770 enables "walk-up computing," the ability to quickly and easily have touch access to digital content wherever life happens in the home.

HP also introduced the industry’s first consumer tablet PC optimized for Microsoft Windows Vista and on-the-go entertainment. The HP Pavilion tx1000 Entertainment Notebook PC features a touch-screen display, built-in miniature remote control, HP QuickPlay instant movie viewing feature, karaoke and a screen that swivels 180 degrees and folds flat for working or enjoying movies in tight travel spaces such as airplanes or trains.

It doesn’t stop there. If you are on a winning streak then why stop there. This is why they have partnered up with Sling Media, creators of the industry-leading Slingbox, HP has enhanced its QuickPlay offering on consumer notebooks with “place shifting,” which allows consumers to instantly access their live television programming and DVR content as easy as turning on a TV.

The TouchSmart range is due to be released January 30 to coincide with Windows Vista and other device releases.
