Snapact and Touch PCs

The emergence of “Touch PCs” will certainly impact the way personal computers are being used today for entertainment. Computer manufacturers like Dell, HP, Asus, and MSI have already launched their “All-in-One” Touch PCs into the marketplace and have already received favourable reviews due in part to the large, rich display screens (20” display screens and larger), and the ability for users to simply tap their display screen to launch applications, listen to music, watch videos, or view photos. I have had the opportunity to briefly test the various Touch PCs manufactured by Dell, HP, Asus, and MSI at retail stores such as Staples and Costco.

As of now, my preference is the HP TouchSmart All-in-One PC but that’s not to say that Dell, Asus, and MSI don’t have a comparable product offering, because they certainly do. The first time I saw the HP TouchSmart PC was in Costco and I was amazed with the vibrant colors and crisp display on the 25.5 inch screen. As I was playing around with the features of the HP TouchSmart, I started to think about how Snapact Photo Manager would work really well with the HP TouchSmart, or any Touch PC for that matter.

Snapact Photo Manager was designed to incorporate “drag and drop” features and functionality. The design of the Touch PCs allows users to essentially replace the mouse with the user’s finger. With Snapact Photo Manager, users can now create their Snapact Albums by placing their finger on a photo and “dragging” the photo to the Album. Likewise, double-tapping on a photo will take the user to Viewer Mode that will display the Edit tools and the Thumbnail Filmstrip view at the bottom of the screen. To view photos, users can simply place their finger on the Thumbnail Filmstrip and drag their finger to the left or right to scroll through the photos. To select and view a photo, simply tap on the thumbnail image of the photo.

If you have already purchased a Touch PC or you are thinking about purchasing one in the near future, make sure you install Snapact Photo Manager. You won’t find an easier software solution out there to view, manage, and share all your digital photos.
