Apple has finally taken down the FingerWorks website. Fingerworks was acquired by Apple about 5 years back but the website was left untouched up until now. It is very interesting timing for Apple because of what FingerWorks is or was, rather. FingerWorks was a company that was dedicated to making gesture and multitouch-based applications for the Mac OS X. There was no sound from Apple about what they intended to do with FingerWorks (as usual) but every speculated as much as they could.

It is Saturday again, time for the weekend mood to set in and to help you along the way we have this freshly baked Apple round-up just for you. Apple has had a great week. Things went uphill from the very start when they reported their (through the roof) Q3 earnings and then we had the roster of new Macs to savour.
The rest of the week has been pretty small compared to those two things but they have been large enough to carry us through the entire week. And make no mistakes, we will still be hearing about the new Macs two weeks down the line and may be more.
Get to the other side for your piece of this delicious pie.

Tablets have been around for a long time and they have always been a niche product. The mass market has no use for a convertible tablet simply because not everyone needs to scribble and draw all the time. Tablets are meant for designers, artists, architects and anyone who benefits from having a digital notebook to draw and scribble on.
This new tablet from Fujitsu is quite different from your usual tablet. It does have the keyboard and the rotating screen that can be folded away but the touchscreen now also supports multiple inputs i.e. multitouch. It actually has two different modes on the same screen. If you use the pen, it activates the Wacom digitized panel. If you use your finger(s), it activates a capacitive touchscreen that is similar to the one on the iPhone.
Now that is what really makes this product interesting. These added features increase the ways in which you can interact with the device. Get over to other side for the meat.

When I reviewed the original T400S, I mentioned how slim, thin and light it was. Well, this is basically the same model with a touchscreen added on to it. The new Lenovo ThinkPad T400S Touch is more like an upgrade on the older T400S. For about $400 extra on the basic T400S, you can get a high-end Lenovo business laptop with a touchscreen in place over the normal screen. So how does having a touchscreen affect things other than increasing the price? Jump over to the other side to find out.

As is pretty obvious from all the handheld devices around us, the world is going for multitouch big time now. Any new smartphone that does not have a multitouch screen is being laughed at and mocked (sorry E72). So it was really only a matter of time before other devices started going multitouch. The latest devices to go multitouch are actually pretty diverse. You have a new display from Packard Bell along with new all-in-one PCs from them, a new tablet (not PC) from Wacom and portables from Lenovo and Fujitsu.
So it is official people, the world is going multitouch. After all, I’d much rather use something I can really touch than something I have to virtually poke at with my mouse. I have already covered Asus making a touchscreen netbook and a keyboard PC with a touchscreen. So the lower end of the market is getting some love from Asus. Hop over to the other side for more on these 4 devices.
