Dell Latitude XT Tablet gets multitouch feature

It's all about the fingers, baby. Forget those lame multitouch trackpads on MacBooks and Eee PCs. Dell is bringing this feature to the big time (and the big screen) by incorporating touch features directly on the Latitude XT main display.

Zooming, scrolling and even tilting will all be possible once the Texan company releases the firmware upgrade (which is rumored to be tomorrow). There is even a cool power-saving mode--just double-tap with two fingers on the screen and the LCD will go blank. To whet your appetite, Dell has released a short clip on YouTube to demo how this new function will work. View it below.
