Sad, you don't see any real ui interaction. Also remembering the N97 promotion videos and reality, let's wait and see.

At 1:40, you can see him use a website. It looks like a standard Windows 7 touchscreen (notice a tooltip comes up over the play button after he's clicked -- the "cursor" stayed there I guess).

For me, Windows 7 touchscreens mean the number one issue is targeting UI elements and entering input. Closing a browser tab with a 16x16 pixel target isn't too hard with a mouse. But on Windows 7 touchscreen it can be frustrating.

Because of this, I like having a convertible tablet, so I can quickly use the mouse and keyboard when needed.
