I think there should be an open standard for multi-touch devices for the 3 major OSs. That would stop companies like dell from rolling out weak software for them. It looks like windows 7 will address this, but I could be wrong.

I expect ‘both’ of them will be excited.

If they cut off say $1000 maybe hundreds of people would be excited. :)

Specifically, I'm curious if you can configure the amount of zoom when using two fingers to expand/contract the view. What I wouldn't want to do is have to zoom, zoom, zoom with a repeated gesture to get to the desired amount of zoom. This is the challenge to such a feature on a large-screen device. Regardless of that question in my mind, I'm glad to see Dell XT owner having something to look forward to tomorrow! </p> </div>
