Touching photos with HP

"Whenever people complain to manufacturers about skimping on screen size, the stock answer is usually, "Well, we wanted to make the camera small and light, but we needed to leave room for the buttons." That's not an excuse that needs to be used with the HP R937. HP has made room for a bigger screen on the back by eliminating most of the buttons. The R937's large 3.6-inch display, as on some of the Sony Cyber-shot compact cameras, doubles as a touch screen from which you can navigate menus and manipulate photos after they have been captured. The touch-screen software includes a virtual keyboard that allows you to type on the screen when you want to add e-mail or tags to photos. You also use it for editing photos right on the camera. HP's in-camera editing software now removes red-eye and skin blemishes from humans, demon eyes from pets and even extra weight from people, with its slimming feature."
This looks like such an amazing screen. Although I just hope that the fact that it is a touch screen doesn't constant interfere with photo taking with the stray touch of the screen when taking pictures. The camera is an 8 MP, 3x optical zoom, digital antishake capable device with an SD slot make room for lots of pictures. It will sell for around $300 in a couple of months.
