We just found out earlier today about Dell’s long-awaited firmware update to enable the multi-touch capability of the Dell Latitude XT Tablet PC and I should have known that those folks at Laptop Magazine already have been playing with the feature. Joanna Stern has been using the update for a couple of weeks and has released a hands-on video of the XT in action using the fingertip control of that N-Trig digitizer. Have a look at the video and see what you think. Me, I think that multi-touch on that big screen seems a big clunky, especially trying to close windows and things. The Vista interface is just not designed for precise fingertip control as you will see in the video.
