HP, Asus, Shuttle, and MSI have all unveiled stylish new touch screen-capable all-in-one PCs at CES 2009.

HP is following up on the popularity of its classy line of consumer TouchSmart PCs with a rebadged version of its TouchSmart IQ504t geared towards kiosk-style use in places like schools and hotels.The new dx9000 TouchSmart Business PC starts at US$1400, and has the same-sized 22-inch multitouch screen and built-in Webcam as the IQ504t, but adds a faster 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo P8400 CPU and greater support options.

And since Apple didn’t announce a much wished for touch tablet or laptop, a 3rd party has announced a touch screen post-installed on an exiting Apple 24-inch display for an additional $1399 or buy the whole system pre-installed for $2299. It’s not the portable everyone was wishing for but interesting. I assume it’s too high a risk to offer this add-on for Apple laptops since everyone expects Apple to do this soon.

If Apple does this soon, they could look like pioneers to the vast majority who aren’t yet aware of the touch PCs.
