NewsDell Unleashes Latitude XT's Multi-Touch Functionality with Firmware Update

The moment Dell Latitude XT owners had all been waiting for has finally arrived. Dell has released a firmware update for the tablet PC that unlocks its multi-touch capabilities.

The company began shipping the XT tablet sans any multi-touch in December, 2007 but with an assurance that the feature would be added at a later time. It is very strange how some websites are highlighting the fact that the update is free. They shouldn’t forget that Dell hasn’t done a terrific job justifying XT’s exorbitant price – prime example of thickly veiled language – and the unavailability of the tablet’s purported forte for 6 months after launch implies that the company owes a favor or two to XT owners.
