Microsoft Windows 7 to include MultiTouch
We usually stick to hardware here at SlashGear, but Microsoft’s announcement that it will be including MultiTouch in the upcoming Windows 7 OS is interesting enough to bend the rules. Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer sat down with Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher at D to discuss the new inclusion, with a demonstration of MultiTouch working on a somewhat modified Dell Latitude XT Tablet PC. Apparently much of the work that the Surface team has been doing is rolled into Windows 7, which will see a release in late 2009.

MSI GeForce N9600GT Diamond graphics with overclock button
Deep down, in my geeky heart of hearts, I know the one thing that can turn a good piece of tech into a kick-ass gadget is a big red button. Thankfully MSI know that too, which is obviously why they've added a bright red overclock button to their GeForce N9600GT Diamond graphics card that they demonstrated at its ECOlution press conference in Taipei.

Stealth 24-inch ruggedized LCD touchscreen
Anyone who has ever tried to demonstrate a touchscreen likely knows the anxiety of seeing a novice user jab brutally at the display. Bad enough when it's your precious Tablet PC; potentially even more expensive if it's your home automation interface. So it's good to see Stealth Computer's new SV-2400 ruggedized touchscreen; intended, really, for industrial applications, the 24-inch widescreen would nonetheless make for a great combo control panel and display for any user with forceful fingers.

PC Microworks’ Edge gaming laptop ‘most powerful’ in its class
Brave words from notebook manufacturer PC Microworks today: they're calling their new Edge model "the most powerful 15.4-inch notebook in the world."

Sellgino GS-200 ‘GPS Photo Tour’ standalone geotagger

Canadian firm Suissa Computers have revealed their latest unusual design, the Enlighten PC. Reminiscent of a retro music system, perhaps, the Enlighten in fact is a custom wood, metal and glass case with separated components to boost cooling. And unlike similarly artistic cases, the Enlighten doesn't skimp on its computing credentials: a choice of Intel Quad core CPU or AMD X2 6400+ processors, while 4GB of RAM and 1TB of storage are both standard.

Panasonic RP-HJE900 zirconia earphones
I've always associated zirconia with cheap jewellery from TV shopping channels, but Panasonic have seemingly chosen it for its ability to quell sound-distortion rather than its faux-glamour.
