It must be multi-touch week in the notebook world as another new one hits the street. Fujitsu has launched the LifeBook T5010, a convertible Tablet PC with a multi-touch screen. This must be a record — it’s been ages since there have been two Tablet PCs announced at the same time. The T5010 doesn’t have sophisticated multi-touch like the Lenovo x200, it only senses two finger touches at the same time, while the x200 can sense four. That’s just nitpicking, however, as the T5010 is also a full Tablet PC like the x200.
The 13.3-inch Tablet PC is available with Windows Vista until October 22, after which it can be outfitted with Windows 7. It’s not cheap, starting at $1,759, but multi-touch Tablet PCs are never cheap. It is definitely looking like Tablet PC makers have been waiting for Windows 7 to get closer to release to get these dual digitizer-equipped devices out the door.
