I upgraded my tablet to 10.10 alpha, and there is the uTouch framework in
there!

As previously mentioned, the clicking and navigation is weird at the moment
(and actually unusable on this tablet) but the basics are there, and the
touch screen is supported. Looking at the interface and what's planned for
it, it's going to beat the pants off anything else out there that uses
standard desktop software - and adds the full power and speed of Linux.

Reading up implies that there is a lot of effort going into this framework
and tools, so I imagine we'll see full support for this device very soon!

Very exciting!
