Inteset's "Julia" touchscreen-based MCE unit

Inteset continues its unique naming scheme for its MCE devices, adding the Julia to its line-up to compliment its Denzel, Vana and, um, TeraRAID units. This one's particularly notable for the inclusion of a touchscreen display, which is no easy feat given Media Center's decidedly touchscreen-unfriendly interface. To get around that, Inteset whipped up some custom pop-up menus and keyboards so you can navigate your way around without cluttering up your desk or countertop. The unit itself packs a 17-inch widescreen display, along with a CD/DVD drive, TV and FM tuners, 80GB hard drive, and Ethernet and WiFi capabilities. While the Julia's designed to work in conjunction with Inteset's other media server products, it'll also apparently work as a standalone unit, which would suggest it's got a bit more under the hood, though exactly what isn't clear. Neither are price nor availability, unfortunately.

It's called fingerprints. On the viewing surface.

It looks like every company is awaiting for a video iPod with touch screen tomorrow, or is it just a coïncidence to see all those tablet thingies coming up?

I thought that was why they bundled the remote with MCPCs, so you wouldn't have to be that close.

I sure wouldn't mind one in my shower wall if it could be waterproofed somehow.

Regbo, is your imagination really so bad that you need video on demand in the shower to do your thing? :)

So Julia is the bastard child of Freeystyle and Mirra? ;)
