The 17-inch system adds multi-touch input and carries Dell's own suite of touch apps, such as its photo browser. Most of the design remains the same and is treated as a desktop replacement and media center hybrid with a 2.1-channel JBL speaker system and HDMI output.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/19/dell.studio.17.touch.appears/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/17/moto.hopes.to.bring.multi.touch.tech.to.casinos/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/mototouch.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />MOTO Development Group on Tuesday showed off its first round multi-touch casino gaming table prototype at the Global Gaming Expo 2010 in Las Vegas.

Both are the first from Adobe to have a Flash layer that supports multi-touch input, including gestures such as pinching to zoom the window. Flash Player specifically gets H.264 hardware decoding through newer video chipsets and, initially for Windows PCs, can significantly reduce the workload on the ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/17/flash.and.air.betas.also.bring.hw.decode/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/13/old.rumor.of.nokia.buying.palm.resurfaces/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/palmpre-adsm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Palm stock climbed over 8 percent on Friday after speculation that it would be bought out by Finland-based Nokia. Trading was about 15 times heavier than usual in the morning and remained heavy until the end of the day. The spike mirrored a similar increase from late September.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/13/old.rumor.of.nokia.buying.palm.resurfaces/ Fri, 13 Nov 2009 23:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/11/wm7.to.get.special.test.program/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/htchd2-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Microsoft has sped up the release schedule for Windows Mobile 7 to less than a year after 6.5, a leak hinted today. The company is reportedly set to launch a test program in early 2010, codenamed "Maldives," that will let smartphone makers check the mobile OS against their hardware relatively early. Timing would be such that the OS would reach shipping phones by summer where 6.5 was unveiled thi... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/11/wm7.to.get.special.test.program/ Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/10/moto.milestone.due.for.telus.in.2010/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/motomilestone.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Telus this morning gave Canadians their own version of the Droid with an adaptation of the Motorola Milestone. Its version will be fundamentally identical to the European Android 2.0 phone with the exception of North America-native HSPA 3G. Most details aren't available, but Telus is announcing its deal early and says it will have an exclusive when the phone arrives at the start of 2010.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/10/moto.milestone.due.for.telus.in.2010/ Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/04/courier.gestures.ui.explained/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/microsoftcourier-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A new leak of internal documentation has provided a deeper explanation of the Microsoft Courier. The dual-screen tablet prototype has a fundamentally simple interface with two-finger multi-touch gestures: besides usual navigation, it would let users tap-and-hold to clip a photo or other object and a two-finger swipe left or right to move that object to the opposite page. The pen also has two but... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/04/courier.gestures.ui.explained/ Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/02/moto.milestone.due.for.europe.nov.9/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/motomilestone.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Motorola today confirmed an international version of the Droid that should also be the first Android phone with multi-touch.

It currently doesn't support US 3G bands but should be available through at least O2 G... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/02/moto.milestone.due.for.europe.nov.9/ Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/27/downloads.available.for.leopard.and.snow.leopard/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/magic.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple on Tuesday released software updates that add Magic Mouse support to both Leopard and Snow Leopard operating systems.

It's characterized as the first rugged convertible tablet to use capacitive multi-touch and is seen as ideal for use outdoors or at work where natural gestures, such as pinching to zoom into a map or flicking to scroll through a page, are more preferable to a pen. It nonetheless still works with a stylus and has a more ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/27/dell.intros.first.multi.touch.rugged.tablet/ Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:05:00 GMT
