Multi-touch gesture upgrade for Tablet PC from Dell coming this week July 15, 2008 [mobile PCs (Tablet PC, mini-PC, ...)] | By Edward J. R. Instead of waiting for Microsoft that is innovating very very slow (if at all! note to Microsoft employees: releasing a new feature 4 years after competition is not an innovation), Dell, similarly like HTC, is releasing their own operating system extension: multi-touch! Windows 7 (successor to Vista) will have built-in support for multi-touch and we hope that Windows Mobile 7 will have it too (or otherwise it will be big failure), but fans of multi-touch can get it now: Dell Latitude XT2 is coming around November this year and it will be 2nd generation of Tablet PC notebooks from Dell. The first generation - Dell Latitude XT is a bit underpowered (processor speed up to 1.2 GHz only) but all models support multi-touch in hardware that however was not supported by now in software. This is changing now as Dell is releasing multi-touch upgrade that brings multi-touch to all applications: Latitude XT customers don't have to wait for Windows 7 to use multi-touch. Tomorrow we will introduce a software update globally via support.dell.com for the Dell tablet that will bring multi-touch to both Windows XP and Vista. With this update, customers can use the functionality in several standard apps like Google Earth, Outlook and Microsoft Office, web browsers like Firefox and Internet Explorer 7, and XP's Windows Picture viewer and the Vista's Windows Photo Gallery. Here is a video demonstration of multi-touch by Dell: To learn more visit related info about multi-touch from Dell.
