Multi Touch Monitors...

Anyone got one of these yet?

I am seriously tempted as soon as a 24" version becomes available. I love touchscreen stuff and it would help with the speed of operation of certain things i do.

Are they resistive or capacitive with the current versions?

If they're resistive I'd stay well clear, be nice if they were both

SX2210T is capacitive

The question is do you have alcohol wipes on hand to keep your fingers clean, or do you keep cleaning the monitor? That is all that puts me off getting one.

Other than crayon physics I can't think of any applications that benifit from a touchscreen monitor.

Now if the pr0n industry gets involved things might get interesting with a touch screen

Photoshop (and I assume other Adobe programs) become a lot faster with a touchscreen, granted it doesn;t need a huge 24" one, but if you get one and have your tools on that, with your canvas on the main monitor it can massively inprove turnaround time (when you're used to it)
