Microsoft OFFICIALLY confirms introduction of multi-touch technology May 28, 2008 [mobile PCs (Tablet PC, mini-PC, ...)] | By Edward J. R. We were present, on location, at the Microsoft's press conference where UMPC was unveiled for the first time ever and then we asked a question "when will multi-touch be coming to Microsoft powered mobile devices?" and the answer was "in Vista time-frame" but this answer was wrong as we don't have multi-touch by now. However now Microsoft is officially revealing, that multi-touch will be used by Microsoft not only in their tables called "Microsoft Surface" and worth 10,000 dollars... ... but also in next, after Windows Vista, version of Windows operating system (probably called Windows 7 and expected on the market in year 2009 or 2010). Here is a video that demonstrates next Windows operating system with multi-touch in action: When it comes to multi-touch support in Windows Mobile 7 - it is not certain yet, but there are some hints indicating that it will be supported by Windows Mobile 7 too. Windows Mobile 7 powered phones are going on sale in 2009. If you cannot wait then feel free to purchase Dell Latitude XT Tablet PC - it already now supports multi-touch in hardware (and part of the above demonstration was running in it) although Dell's software support for multi-touch is limited. Note also: this Tablet PC is powered by slow low voltage processor of 1.2 MHz only.
