There's Multi-Touch and Then There is "True" Multi-Touch

With all the hooplah about the new iPhone 3G, and the touch / multi-touch features of the device, there is another technology platform from one of my day-job client, N-trig

Dell was one of the first major vendors to introduce capacitive touch and is now bringing multi-touch capabilities to the Latitude XT.

The new capabilities include:

• Scroll – by placing two fingers on the screen and moving them horizontally or vertically customers can easily navigate in web browsers and productivity applications.

• Zoom – by touching the screen with two fingers and moving them together customers can zoom various content in and out, such as pictures or Web pages.

• Programmable double-tap – customers can program a command, such as launching a Web browser or turning the screen off to save power, that will respond to two taps with two fingers.
