Next-gen HP TouchSmart hits retail

HP today said that the second generation of its TouchSmart PC should now be at retail stores across much of the US. The 22-inch all-in-one desktop should be available both in the base IQ504 model ($1,299) with a 2GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB of memory, and 320GB hard drive as well as a deluxe IQ506 model ($1,499) with a 2.16GHz processor, a TV tuner, dedicated GeForce 9300M GS video, and a 500GB hard disk for extra space.

The system improves on the original design both through the larger screen and faster components as well as a revamped touch interface that allows users to pick out music in a Cover Flow-style layout, edit photos, and select apps easily without having to resort to button or mouse controls.
