Acer in literally is taking touch screen devices to the next level. Instead of a traditional keyboard and trackpad, the Iconia features two 14-inch displays (protected by Gorilla Glass) for double the screen real estate of a traditional notebook. Folks who want to type can pull up virtual keyboards to use on the lower display, but users will get around the computer using a new Acer Ring Control interface specifically designed for a touchscreen. And the Iconia runs Windows 7 Premium 64-bit.
How to use Acer Iconia Touch Screen
On the Acer Iconia, right mouse functions commonly found in the PC / laptop screen is replaced with a long press.
After hitting a long, usually will show the option, such as the Home display settings will appear, or when long pressing an image on the browser will have the option to save or share pictures.
Here’s a guide to the possible moves on the screen Acer Iconia:
The Acer Ring Control puts a touch-controlled ring at the center of the Iconia’s lower display: users manipulate the ring like it were a giant knob, placing five fingers around it to move between favorite applications and features, launch a virtual keyboard, surf the Web, post photos, interact with social networks, and more.
The Iconia also features “AppCards” along the sides of the Ring Control that scroll as the user spins the ring. Find the app you want, shift a finger to tap it, and presto: app launched. Acer’s bundled apps will include immediate access to photos and videos on the computer, a “Social Jogger” and aggregator for Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube, clipping applications for Web sites and images, and TouchBrowser, designed to offer a dual-screen Web browsing experience.
Users can also make their own gestures, manage power and media outputs—and the virtual keyboard comes up automatically if users put both palms on the screen Acer Iconia.
