Dell announced this week its Latitude XT2, industry's first Tablet PC with multitouch screen capabilities which will allow users to use natural gestures like a pinch or tap for scrolling, panning, rotating and zooming. There's also a programmable double-tap feature to launch a browser or turn the screen off to save power. Last year Dell released a software module to add multitouch capabilities to the original Latitude XT.
Below are some of the features of the new Latitude XT2
- Innovative multi-touch responsive screen
- Dual-digitizer for low pressure, high touch accuracy
- New LCD-based wireless antenna design for excellent connectivity
- 1.2-GHz or 1.4-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU9300 processors
- DDR3 RAM up to 5GB
- Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD
- 120-GB, 5,400-RPM SATA HDD or 128-GB SSD
- 12-inch daylight viewable display
- Up to 12 hours of battery life with 2 or 6-cell batteries
- Optional mobile broadband capabilities
- Optional fingerprint and a smart card reader
Dell currently offers any of these Operating Systems
- Windows Vista Ultimate
- Windows Vista Business
- Windows Vista Business 64-Bit
- Windows Vista Ultimate with Downgrade Rights Service to Windows XP Tablet Edition
- Windows Vista Business with Downgrade Rights Service to Windows XP Tablet Edition
Probably Windows XP downgrade would disappear very soon and Windows 7 editions would replace it
