The T91MT has an 8.9-inch 1024×600 screen with a 256-level pressure sensor, runs on an Atom Z520 processor with 1GB RAM, a 32GB SSD and all the standard wireless and connectivity. It weighs 960 grams with the battery, which is pretty sweet, and comes preloaded with Windows 7 Home Premium.

Multitouch does come at a bit of a premium though, with the T91MT set to set you back $999.

With a 17.3-inch (1600×900) display, the 3kg system starts with a 2.1GHz Dual Core T4300, DVD burner, 320GB HDD, 4GB RAM, 512MB Radeon 4570 and a footprint that can support a slew of ports — two USBs, one USB/eSATA, HDMI, Display Port, VGA and Firewire.

But you can scale the power all the way up to an i7.

The multitouch display (we’re looking for confirmation on whether or not it’s capacitive tech) supports the pre-installed Windows 7 along with Dell’s own touch software.

The T5010, which has a starting RRP of $2,599, comes with an Intel Core2Duo processor, a 13.3-inch 1280 x 800 TFT LCD display, a 320GB HDD, Bluetooth and a six cell battery, plus the option of either 2GB or 4GB of RAM. The T4410 and T4310 both only have a 12.1-inch touchscreens, but different Core2Duo processors. The T4410 is also only available “for project only”. The T4310 has a starting price of $1,899.

All three obviously come with Windows 7 too, so you can take advantage of that multitouch software.

Even though this free app doesn’t really do anything except display exactly what your trackpad is sensing, it’s still spectacular. Even with all my fingers I can’t max this thing out, and inputs seem to be monitored just as precisely as when you’re just using your point finger. I have no idea how you’re supposed to map 10-finger inputs into anything useful, but man, the pointless toy potential here is massive. Update: As is, evidently, the dick joke potential. 11 bravos, to be shared amongst you [Lericsson via Reddit]

Running on what looks to be a Microsoft Surface the Reactable, Infractor is software that represents all of the New York Times as a streaming beam of light, with individual stories floating through the stream like fireflies. Placing an interactive prism on the table splits this beam, allowing you to assign filters like “Obama” to make the stream more relevant. (A jog wheel, placed next to the prism, can alter the prism’s specific sensitivity.)

Eventually, you’ll tailor the beam to only hold topics you’re interested in. Well that, or you’ll remember why the printing press doesn’t use prisms to convey information.

Maybe it goes back to the whole multitouch patent issue with Apple, I don’t know. If it turns out the Milestone does indeed have multitouch when it arrives in the US on November 9, hopefully some sort of patch hack will also make its way in. [Mobile-Review (translated) via SlashGear]

At 1.5 inches thick, it’s the thinnest 12.1-inch rugged convertible tablet — um, even with that massive qualifier in there, that’s as thin as hardcore machinery gets. It’s designed for law enforcement and other emergency services life-or-death people.

Of course, it uses a SSD for impact tolerance, in addition to running Core 2 Duos and up to 5GB of DDR3 RAM. It’s also got hot-swappable modules for gear like GPS and webcams, and will see some appropriately hardass mounts and docks soon. It starts at $US3600 for the base package for small businesses, ’cause the ability to stop a tankshell ain’t cheap. And hey, multitouch!

Matt thought the Microsoft Surface Sphere was the trippiest multitouch thing ever. I agreed with him until I saw this insanely wicked Interactive Multitouch Sphere by London design house Seeper. [Seeper via Likecool]

Fully certified for Windows 7, the L2105tm features 1920×1080 resolution, 1000:1 contrast, 5ms response, and VGA, DVI-D with HDCP connections. You’ll only be able to use two-finger multitouch (or single-point stylus), but if you’re buying a monitor anyway, it’s smart that manufacturers are keeping the touch price premiums low…well…attainable.
