The video below shows people in NYC's Times Square using their Verizon Droid phones to interact with the Verizon Wireless digital signage billboard:
The Droid offers a voice-activated search feature. Users can ask a question, and the search engine, powered by Google, will provide the search results from the web or from items stored on the phone. One feature I like is that it provides turn-by-turn directions from Google Maps, as well as other helpful geographic information. This would be a great tool for city dwellers and visitors alike.
The video below is a demonstration of how the Google Maps Navigation feature works on Android-based phones:

Interactive Touch Screens Out and About: Touch Screen Party Planner for ASDA, by H Squared LTD
Found on YouTube:

The video below was produced by H Squared LTD, a creative retail design company based in the UK. It demonstrates how a single-touch application is used to help people plan their parties when they visit the ASDA store.
This company just uploaded a number of videos, which can be viewed on the H Squared LTD YouTube channel. It looks like this company has some experience with interactive television. I'm not sure if this company has ventured into multi-touch.
To learn more, I visited the H Squared LTD website, and found that it works pretty nicely on my TouchSmart PC. You can turn the pages of Issue 1 of the magazine. The music's fun, too, and it sounds as if someone put some thought into how it was mixed.
If you are contemplating what sort of outfit you'd like to wear to your next costume party, take a look at the styles in the ASDA's photoshoot video. The music? "Somebody's Watching Me".
A great beat, and you can dance to it.

Interactive Billboard Highlights the HP TouchSmart PC
I really, really like my HP TouchSmart PC, so I had to share this video as soon as I saw it. The focus is an interactive billboard in Mexico City, featuring an acrobat interacting with a huge screen that mimics the interaction of an HP TouchSmart PC.
Here is the same video, with different music:
