It seems that the touchscreen will not be present in the coming 
model.

Because Xandros is a rather ambiguous distro; there is not a free 
official repository, several Xandros packages does not have a 
clear license. Moreover Asus used a customized Xandros so if you 
want to install some more packages you are forced to relay on a 
mix of unofficial Xandros repositories, Debian Etch (rather old 
packages), and others.
