Well, it’s been two years.
Wrong!

Care to make another prediction?

Multitouch is a joke: “let’s force our users to use 2 3 or 4 fingers to do what could be done with one finger just because we can”. What a waste of effort. Make the pressure sensitivity work. N-trig is a JOKE. At this point, I hope they go out of business, then I can dump this POS and get something that will do what I WANT IT TO without waiting and wondering if these Aholes are ever gonna make the damn thing work.
I didn’t want to buy HP, but I liked the TX2 specs, so stupid me, I assumed that a touchscreen PC would actually work with drawing programs.
Never again ntrig and never again HP.

“In Two Years People Will Be “Irritated” By Computers Without Touchscreens” News flash: People are irritated by computers WITH touchscreens right now, TODAY. I got an idea: FIX YOUR DRIVERS before Wacom takes control again. Oh wait, too late. How can you present a multi-touch solution when you can’t even get the pen functioning! That should be the first thing on a tablet with a multi-touch solution. You can’t have “multi” if there’s only one functioning part. That’s like saying I invented a new multi-drive sports car but nobody makes tires for it yet, so it doesn’t support driving. Maybe in the future it will, we just can’t say….

P.S. What happened to the update on the wintab issue? 3 more days left in January…..

Nony Maus: According to N-trig it’s Adobe’s Problem, according to Adobe it’s N-Trigs problem. Neither one cares that it’s your problem. And they would both like to deny there IS a problem, so rest assured that nobody is fixing any problems….. I’ll take that cyanide sandwich now please….

Could be the future, guys.

On the other hand, could be one of those oh-so-close-to-start-up tech companies that has a barely usable product, that will dump said product onto the market to generate some sales, then make a quick dash to go public (hello, NASDAQ) scoring megabucks for the company management before it crashes like a ball bearing getting shot into a black hole, leaving customers and shareholders wishing they’d had a cyanide sandwich instead.

So, we’ll see.

Pressure sensitivity incompatibility with ntrig is Adobe’s problem right?

How does n-Trig expects us to believe on their continued support when it fails to deliver a simple wintab-compatible driver for its decent share of graphic designers to be able to use pressure sensitivity in major apps like Photoshop and Painter? Such a joke.. -_-

SO Ntrig hasn’t suppoted what’s needed on the XT from DEll? Is HP’s Tx2z another that they might never deal with as things migrate to Win7

I guess waiting might be key but school starts in June therefore tablet/slate with onenote is needed

I’m reminded of the glossy control panels all over the Star Trek universe. Then again, the computer’s voice recognition was so much easier to use. Combine voice with a heads-up display on glasses and retina scanning to control a mouse cursor….

other thought:
Fingerprints!! AAAAGGHH!!
(Glossy touchscreens are not acceptable. Got that, developers?)

Not gonna happen. Sure I want a large-format iPod touch style tablet to use on the couch in front of the TV, and I want a touchscreen computer in the kitchen for light web browsing, shared calendars, etc. But for the majority of my use, I’d still be using a keyboard and mouse on a desktop or laptop where I would have no use whatsoever for touch. At least not on the screen. I do want multi-touch support on the trackpad of my laptop of course…
