    While this little project is interesting enough, I caught a link from this piece to Media Car:

    Media Car (mostly in French, but the screenshots do it justice)

    It seems to be a do-it-all for multimedia software, but it looks bleeding edge enough to warrant wariness. I'd be interested in this if it could run on BSD or Linux and supported a remote.

    What he fails to mention is that you need the stylus to touch the screen.

    I have one of these Tablet PCs, and only the stylus can register clicks.
