#32Can you do touch screen over HDMI?
No. Touch screen monitors with HDMI need another channel, usually a USB port, to send touch events. In theory, I guess you could send events over DDC, but then you're gonna have to get video driver makers involved, make sure that the spec you choose doesn't cause existing drivers to puke, etc.
On the picture there's a USB port, probably you will be able to use it to send touch events.

#33Here's hoping they'll offer a version for embedded computing (and support it better than they historically supported their embedded motherboards).

#34What are the existing products this will compete with?
In the past couple of years there have been dozens of similar products based on ARM SoCs out there.

#35Can you do touch screen over HDMI?
I know a tv can send back commands from e.g. the remote control over HDMI, it really is bidirectional communication, but I wouldn't know whether it's good enough for something like touchscreen.
Well you can do 100Mbps Ethernet over HDMI 1.4 with a compatible cable, so I don't see why it would be technically impossible. The question is, can this stick do it?

it read somewhere that it can keep up to 10 different connection/devices, I think over CEC.
There are various comm protocols

#37"Bookmark this page, and then set a reminder to check in soon." this is how product announcements work these days? Would've been nice to have a bit of actual information.
seriously, what a bunch of dinosaurs
Honestly, I'd rather see that instead of the current version which is "Give us your email, and then spam all your contacts, and maybe we'll bump you up on the exclusive early beta list".
Half of these companies think they're launching a cure for cancer delivered via an exclusive nightclub with the "beta signups".

#39What are the existing products this will compete with?
For the media enthusiasts, likely the Chromecast and I believe Amazon also offers a HDMI stick computer.
It doesn't seem like it's really competing with the Chromecast. My impression was that the Compute Stick can actually run software by itself, not requiring a connection to another device.

#40$149 for Windows 8.1 version and $89 for Linux version, not bad.
