Latitude XT Software Update is Here

Since my post about multi-touch coming to Latitude XT customers via a software update. Several sites like GottaBeMobile, jkOnTheRun and Gizmodo mentioned it, and Joanna Stern from Laptop Magazine even published a pretty solid overview and video demo of the new functionality.

Now let me get to it... the download is now available for Latitude XT customers at the following links:

If you'd rather get there on your own from the Latitude XT Drivers & Downloads page, the update is called N-Trig - Application in under the Input Device Drivers section. All versions have a date of 7/15, and both Vista versions are 14MB and the XP version is 15MB.

Here's a video where Hans Eilers from the Latitude XT team walks customers through installing and calibrating the update:

I have a Dell XT in my lap with the new driver, and so far touchlib is not working.   Hopefully this will change.

 

bam, I just bought a Latitude XT yesterday from ebay with this news. Now i wonder if multitouch apps from touch LIB will work with this. I cant wait to try it. http://nuigroup.com/touchlib/ If not, dell needs to work with them because its so far one of the most comprehensive multitouch open libraries available, all in flash.

only thing I found very odd for this tablet is lack of SATA drive. It didnt come out that long ago and yet they havent updated from pata to sata option or added a higher resolution screen, not to mention a web camera.

this marks my 6th Dell purchase....
