Packaged Software for Multi-touch

It's really cool to see traditional packaged software vendors being shipping applications specifically designed to accommodate multi-touch. You can see the changes in the way these applications look with larger controls for thick fingers.

It seems appropriate to me that the first packaged applications to to support touch are productivity applications for multi-media and design. In July I posted a blog about the really cool 3D modeling software from SpaceClaim. Today, Corel announced that its new Digital Studio 2010 is fully touch enabled.

In the not to distant future (less than 6 months) there will be so many announcements about touch enabled PC software that I won't be able to keep up with it. Today supporting touch is a differentator but soon it will be expected that all PC be software designed to accommodate touch screens.
