Ever since Minority Report hit the silver screens, multi-touch devices have transformed from being mere figments of our imagination to objects of reality - well, at least to some extents.

Take for instance this new tablet PC from Dell, the Latitude XT2, which claims to be the world's first multi-touch tablet PC that can detect the use of natural gestures as valid commands.

"Multi-touch capabilities on the Latitude XT2 allows the use of natural gestures like a pinch or tap for scrolling, panning, rotating and zooming that work with productivity applications they use every day. Dell’s integration of multi-touch screen technology allows customers to use the full real estate of the display, as opposed to just the touchpad."

Aside from being able to detect the odd snap of the fingers and flick of the wrist, the Latitude XT2 is a surprisingly light weight machine - and we're not talking about it's weight either. It's equipped with an Intel Core 2 Duo SU9300 (1.2GHz processor), an 80GB HDD, a measely 1GB of RAM, and (*gasp*) Windows XP.

Retail price for the Latitude XT2 starts at US$2399, and with the enormous amount of multi-touch applications available out there (i.e. next to none), the potential of this one is really shining through.
