Best touchscreen mobile phones

In the good old days we'd let our fingers do the walking when using the Yellow Pages. These days our fingers do a lot more with our mobile phones.

Years after Microsoft demoed its touchscreen table, Surface has finally had its Australian release.

Samsung N110

An easy-to-use netbook with a long battery life, but there are cheaper options.
HP Mini 2140 (Intel Atom N270 processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

HP offers a premium version of its Mini 1000 while keeping the price down, making the Mini 2140 the netbook to beat.
Asus N10 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

You'll pay a bit more for the privilege, but the Asus N10 is unique because of its discrete, switchable graphics and extra ports.
Kogan Agora Pro

The much-hyped Google Android phone operating system will hit Australia on 29 January 2009, in the form of the Kogan Agora and Agora Pro. At first glance, this looks to be one of the most exciting products of the year.
Lenovo IdeaPad S10

Lenovo's "me, too!" entry in the netbook sweepstakes, the IdeaPad S10, gets the price and features right, but falls behind on battery life.
MWg Atom V

MWg's first Australian release is a solid Windows Mobile smartphone at a reasonable price, let down in part by sluggish performance.
O2 Xda Flame

The Flame promises a lot, and delivers a lot -- both in raw size and features. It is sadly let down by its battery life, however.
Bose 3-2-1 Series II

This is a beautifully designed system, with great features for the price.
