i really would like to see someone try this out, a special module to take on finger gestures to do more shortcuts and other operations that what is seen today on mobile phones/gadgets would be super, thats what you would need, and i think it would be simple to do? once a module is created to recognize different gestures it would work great, since your limited to touch screen, you really want to be able to do different gestures to do different things.

i think its possible i don’t remember, but it would be really nice to use the virtual desktops to create specific gui's for different areas, one would be music lets say, other is video, one is for gps, another is for browser or something like that, with different buttons and layouts, this is a must because still the desktop real state on a 7-10" touch screen is small.

I think litestep can do this :) I fully understand the limitations with interfacing with apps/programs if they do not have command lines or other means to interpret or mimic commands, but either way LS is able to great a finger friendly environment for the CarPC more so then other theme programs out there which are not even full shell replacements :P
