HP TouchSmart TX2: Multitouch Display on a Consumer Tablet PC
HP has put together a new capacitive multitouch display and new software to bring the touch experience to the next level. The company understands that users have reacted very well to touch-interfaces that are well done, so HP is trying to adapt and get ahead of the game. The TX2 is cool in many ways. First, we think that every tablet PC should be finger friendly. There’s nothing more frustrating than having to use the pen for something as simple as moving a Window.
So far, Tablet PCs have not been very popular and it’s fair to say that multitouch is most useful on
that form-factor. The question is: will HP build the Table PC cool? Without analyzing one, it’s hard to tell, but I think that while HP might jumpstart some interest, some heavy lifting in the software needs to be done by Microsoft at the core whether the Windows user interface. It’s good to see someone taking the lead in that area.Add a comment | From: HP TouchSmart TX2: Multitouch Display on a Consumer Tablet PC | Visit Ubergizmo | Good deals
