Articles about multitouch

Some of the rumours we keep hearing this year is the one about Amazon launching its own tablet. Here at AllTouchTablet.com we really think Amazon is working at its own Android tablet because the company sees this as the perfect opportunity to promote its Android Application store, plus it could offer a good income stream, just like the Kindle eReader did a few years ago.Now that latest rumor points towards a cheap tablet from Amazon, one that uses a multi-touch panel with two finger input, f...

Even if we write here at AllTouchTablet.com about tablets all day long, from time to time we do take a look at touch screen technologies and prototype displays like the BendDesk, a display curved at 90 degrees that uses three cameras and two projectors together with IR lights to detect up to 10 points of input. This is true multitouch, and it's also an interesting perspective over dual monitor technology and how it can benefit from a sceen bent in the middle.As you can see in the video below...

Romanian people are known for many things, but you wouldn't expect them to be gadget builders. This doesn't mean there aren't exceptions, the biggest one being Tom Touch, a company responsible for Multitouch, an interactive table that manages to beat Microsoft Surface where it hurts most: price. While Tom Touch hasn't yet published any price figures, they told us a lot about how Multitouch works and the technology that allowed them to keep the amazing abilities found on Microsoft Surface, but ke...

I'm glad that people still care about convertible tablet PC's and manufacturers like Fujitsu still support this legacy format, that exists for a couple of years already. Their latest model, the Lifebook T580, was just announced by Fujitsu at IFA Berlin 2010 and packs a lot of punch in a 10.1 inch format. Practically you would buy the Fujitsu Lifebook T580 if you want a powerful but still portable laptop that's touch enabled. And speaking of touch, the Fujitsu T580 features a four finger multi to...

If I were to define right now the perfect Android tablet I would definitely say: Android 2.2, Tegra 2 graphics chip, capacitive screen with multi touch and 7 to 10 inches in size. The tablet Hannspree just announced has all that plus a few aces down the sleeve to help it become an interesting choice for those hunting for an Android slate.Tegra 2 bring full HD 1080p video playback so plenty of media to watch out there when you travel. Mini HDMI ensures you can output that video to a big scree...

You know Synaptics, the one that make almost every trackpad found in laptops today. Well, they're stepping up in the touch tablet arena, by announcing the ClearPad 7200 series multi touch screens, with 10 inch diagonal and some performance features that makes them ideal for Windows 7 and Android slates.Those performance figures are 10 fingers simultaneous multi touch, low latency (between the touch gesture and the moment it is registered and sent for processing), plus two things I don't real...

Touch tables are still far off consumer living rooms thanks to the 'massive' price and still  early software options that could make a touch table usable for daily tasks. That doesn't mean that manufacturers are ignoring completely this small niche segment, as GestureTek just announced the GestTable, a 42 inch multi touch table with Full HD 1080p resolution.There's not much info about the GestTable, and that's a pity because I would have loved to get a quote on pricing of this mammoth. Anyw...

Apple is clearly the tech company of the year with the launch of the iPad, thus starting the touch tablet mania. Today they've outdone themselves with the launch of the 4th generation iPhone, called iPhone 4 (clearly the next one will be called iPhone 4S or iPhone 4G, if AT&T upgrades itself to 4G till then). Usually we don't talk about smartphones here at All Touch Tablet but I feel this one deserves any one's attention, especially because it rises the question "iPhone or iPad ?".Unlike...

Apple is not only one of the manufacturers with the best designs on market today, but also one who offers interesting new features on its products, that stand out from the competition. We come upon a bit of news that Apple has patented a new kind of multitouch holographic 3D interface that won't require any type of 3D glasses.The patent is more complicated than it seems, as it involves screen deflectors and projectors to produce special images for each of your eyes. More than that, if a grou...

Remember when we've talked about the Microsoft Courier concept, a dual screen tablet that features an innovative interface which takes advantage of the two displays? Well, it seems that Microsoft is really dedicated to bring this device to market sometime in 2011, an employee told New York Times.Of course that's more like a rumor about a rumor, but that doesn't mean it can't come true. If the device is half what they've presented in a video of the Courier concept I'll buy two of them.One...
