Hello!
I don't know if there's any kind of support for touchscreen. My
experience in Fedora is with netbooks. And you see, if you can install or at
least boot a Fedora, you will take care of battery consumption. It is a problem
in my portable devices with Fedora. :-|
I get about eight hours from my ASUS netbook, which has a D510 (dual core smt)
processor. First portable I normally take without a charger, it's never let me
down yet, including seven hours running a book reader in an airport.
But the idea of touch is interesting, some things really lend themselves to that
user interface. I can't do without real keyboard, but for a few things I would
like the touch. I hear Ubuntu runs Android under Linux, maybe there's a solution
there.
