    This is a project for school, and has only four easy questions, so I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could take this quick survey about multitouch technology.

    Thanks :)

    No one's answering? I know that this may come off as a scam for spam, so I'll just ask the questions here. Please note that "professional" answers are not needed; I just need the opinion of the common population who use computers! Thanks a lot!!!!


    Best Regards :D

    sorry, didn't see it, was having internet connection problems for a while, will answer it now!

    Haven't seen you around for a while, still busy with schoolwork?

    Nobody seems to be answering posts in the virus section! :(

    I would expect multitouch tablet pc's to start around $1200...and lower-powered "desktop" units for around $800.

    The main problem I see is that there is very little use in todays apps for multiple touch points, even if they work perfectly with no patches. Only programs that need lots of screen real-estate, lots of mouse use, and almost no keyboard use would have any good use for it. CAD houses may find a lot of good use for this, but I don't know how much the average user will use it.

    Oh, and the on-screen-keyboards on tablet PC's will allow you to press multiple keys at once (some already do, but this should standardize it); very important on windows where CTRL+ALT+DEL is your lifeline.
