Client, N-trig, has launched its new brand
as we are getting ready to ramp up for the upcoming SID2008 Show in LA. If you are a journalist or industry analyst planning to attend and want to meet with N-trig email me: alan at weinkrantz dot com and I will come back to you with a proposed time.
One of my personal favorite gadget blogs, Engadget, has awarded Dell Computer with its award as being the best Tablet PC of 2007. 
Launched last November, Dell's Latitude XT, was the company's first entry into the tablet space. The core Dual Mode technology for this computer comes from client, N-trig.
Bob Bushway, over at GottaBeMobile, has an innovative approach to reviewing mobile related devices such as notebooks and tablet PC.s
In this episode, he reviews the pen and touch technology on the Dell Latitude Xt which is based on client, N-trig's Capacitive Touch technology, which he says has the best touch + pen experience on the market. "It is smooth, soft, and accurate, allowing for a more intuitive user experience than currently available in passive or other dual-mode offerings," says Bob.
Check this post, where he tears the unit down to see what's under the hood. Well done!
Tower Semiconductor, Ltd. (NASDAQ: TSEM; TASE: TSEM), an independent specialty wafer foundry, and client, N-trig, the provider of DuoSense(TM) technology, combining pen and zero-pressure touch for mobile computers into a single device, today announced ramp-up of production of N-trig's A-trig and D-trig - the newest digitizer chipset to be integrated in OEMs computer systems.
N-trig’s DuoSense digitizers are thinner and more integrated solution, providing the ultimate human interface experience. Its zero-pressure touch enables the best touch and pen experience on the market and is based on capacitive touch instead of traditional resistive touch. It is the only digitizer currently available that fully enables all the capabilities of the latest mobile platforms. DuoSense digitizers are implemented using Tower’s Fab2 0.18-micron advanced process. Tower is the leading provider of the A-trig and D-trig products’ silicon wafers.

Laptop Magazine has very good side by side review, comparing the Dell Latitude XT vs. the Toshiba Portege M700 Tablet PC.
One quote from the article: "We see a lot of tablets here at LAPTOP, but the XT’s capacitive touch screen is one of the most responsive tablet screens we have ever seen."
The Capacitive Touch technology in the Dell machine is from client, N-trig. This is the first comparative review we've seen to date. The video below says it all...
