3 fingers (left and right), go back or forward in a page history, a click with 2 fingers on a link open it in a new onglet, zoom on a page or a picture with 2 fingers (like for iPhone), 2 fingers down is like Alt+Tab, 2 finger for scrolling Up and Down, or Left to Right in a zoomed page(and reverse)….

So touch is available on Asus cheap machine with no need to get modified apps.

For others, i recommand gestures apps. A must have on notebooks or stations. Strokeit is one of them, but an easier one to modify and usable on a USB Key (for a mobile practice on all Windows PC) is Mazzick available here

Touch is just another way of the mouse gestures concept. Apple introduce a really nice variation, not a true revolution. And i apreciate it on the Asus EEE NetBook. For many of us, it’s more affordable.
