HP Opens Up TouchSmart To Third-Party Developers
TheTieGuy writes "HP recently released their TouchSmart Application Development Guidelines to third party developers, allowing anyone to port and create touch-friendly applications that integrate and run within the TouchSmart Software suite on their popular TouchSmart PC. As part of the release, HP has gotten behind Capable Networks' Touchsmart Community website and forum to distribute the guidelines to developers while providing an environment for TouchSmart developers to interact. Also on the site is a download hub that allows TouchSmart developers to upload and share their creations with TouchSmart owners in a central location. To kick off the new development initiative, the TouchSmart Community is running a promotion that will send one developer (travel expenses paid) to demo their software in the HP booth at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, along with a free TouchSmart PC, HP MediaSmart Server, and a month of promotion in the community."
With windows 7 coming up fast, what's the point? It's going to be Microsoft's touch operations standards versus HP machine specific, proprietary standards. Were I a betting man, I'd gamble that no useful applications will be out before Windows 7 hits the market.
you should see the UI on their high end equipment. When you're using it every day, you get used to it, but it's definitely not like any other program i've used before.
