HP announces TouchSmart tx2 multi-touch Tablet PC

by LCH on November 18, 2008

Gottabemobile has some details on the just announced HP TouchSmart tx2 multi-touch Tablet PC. Like the TouchSmart displays we’re talking two-point multi-touch at this time, but at $1149 this isn’t anything to complain about. However, unlike the displays, this is a full-featured Tablet PC so it supports a pen for handwriting recognition. Sounds like a great combo. I’m eager to see this new consumer-grade Tablet run the Windows 7 pre-beta. I hope there will be Windows 7 drivers available. (Digitizer is an N-Trig duosense, capacitive digitizer.)

You can check out the TouchSmart tx2 here.

Updates:

Gizmodo says no Windows 7 drivers for now.

SlashGear video shows multi-touch in action within Vista. The HP rep demoing the unit doesn’t know when or if drivers will be available for developers.
