I am getting some hardware to play with to do this very type of thing in a 
month or so. Not UMPC, but an Arm 9 and a touchscreen. I hope to be able to 
run hildon on it because I think it will be ideal for my needs (ubiquitious 
home computing)

I'll look at this. It might be a bit before I really get on this but I'l feed 
back my details as they come.
