Really? Tell that to the Asus R2h, Archos 9, Latitude XT and XT2 along with all the other HP owners. I've sued plenty and as soon as you increase the DPI to 125%, everything is easy to open, close, whatever.

Are you, however, simply repeating what web pages state or have you used Windows 7 at length on a tablet??]]>May 13th 2010 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/
lol, should be 'seen' not sued]]>May 13th 2010 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/
Laptops aren't smart phones where you have no choice but to use such gestures. ]]>May 13th 2010 8:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/
Mice won't disappear any time soon, but the stylus might replace them eventually. Soon, most people will adopt a mobile device as their primary computing device. They won't use a mouse much of the time, because a mouse is impractical while walking down the street or down an aisle at Best Buy. The mobile devices will dock to larger keyboards and displays and a mouse if you want a mouse. The two-handed, QWERTY keyboard seems safe enough, but mice seem vulnerable, because people will quickly adopt the stylus for precision input on touch screens while mobile, and using a stylus is more natural than using a mouse, particularly if you're new to the both.

Crap.

I meant good touch screen pianos.

I had a touch screen piano on my Handspring back in '99 but... it sucked]]>May 13th 2010 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/
Please.

Could the people who keep saying, "WIndows 7 is not good for touch" please put themselves into two camps:
A: People that are repeating what they've heard or
B: People that spent ten seconds using Win7 with touch.

Windows 7 has a wealth of superb Touch enabled options, from a resize-able keyboard that works wonders on a Dell XT2, to increasing the DPI to 125% to make menus and windows options very easy to 'touch'.

Seriously, there's so much misinformation that it makes me sick to think that people can be so blind.]]>May 13th 2010 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/No Android and WebOS are designed from the ground up to be finger friendly. The UI is finger friendly. The apps are finger friendly. This is where MS fails. Now if they brought Windows Phone 7 over to a tablet or the Zune UI....lets talk. But Windows? Think square peg in a round hole.]]>May 13th 2010 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/
I'll repeat: " increasing the DPI to 125% to make menus and windows options very easy to 'touch'."

As in larger and easier to 'touch'. Try it now...]]>May 13th 2010 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/P.s. Touch on the HD2 is fine if you ask me. No trouble without a stylus, none.]]>May 13th 2010 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/Windows Mobile worked perfectly fine for me on touch with my normal human sized fingers, without a stylus on my Cingular 8525, all the way up to my stylus free HD2.
As for touch Windows 7, works great on my x200 tablet.
Not sure what you are doing, but just to check, have you tried actually /touching/ the screen?]]>May 13th 2010 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/
I agree. I hear that Win7 is worthless on a tablet because touch sucks so bad. Normally from Apple users.

I've got an HP touchsmart TX2 and at 125% DPI, everything works pretty nicely. I tell the Apple zealots that I surfed for an hour on via finger, and it's like, they think I'm hallucinating or something.

I have been also using it to surf powerpoints in Office 2003 while walking to class before a test. Works fine.]]>May 13th 2010 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/May 13th 2010 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/n-trig-demos-advanced-n-act-multitouch-gestures-coming-to-lapto/
