More multi-touch!
Packard Bell Press Release: oneTwo M and oneTwo L press release (pdf)
"The use of multi-touch technology is expected to rapidly expand because it provides a fast and
intuitive interface for the user. In fact, it is not meant for computer literate or techno-maniacs, it’s addressing users who want easy-to-use and complete digital solutions, who love unique and expressive style.The Packard Bell oneTwo Series gathers all these needs into an all-in-one PC with easy-to-use touch-screen technology, eye-catching style, and fantastic entertainment and media sharing."

The MSI promotional video shows some interesting touch-screen interaction with the media. I'm not sure how much of this video is special effects!
MSI had a contest for people to create and share their videos to promote the benefits of touch screens over traditional PC's. Here's the promo for the contest:
The videos can be seen on the MSI contest website or on YouTube.
It is rumored that MSI will be releasing a multi-touch all-in-one sometime in the future, the MSI AE2400.
I haven't had a chance to test out any of these computers. If you have had the opportunity, please leave a comment.
I'm hoping that there will be an influx of great touch and multi-touch applications in the future. Multi-touch web browsers exist, but are only in the experimental phase, as far as I know, and most web-sites are not optimized for even single-touch interaction.
