"If you've been gazing lovingly at Wacom's 22-inch pen display, the company has tacked on some functionality that may convince you to commit. The outfit has announced the Cintiq 22HD touch: a version of the existing 21.5-inch stylus pal with multi-touch functionality on board. If you'll recall, a similar treatment was given to the Cintiq 24HD after its initial launch sans swipes. The list of additional specs for the 22HD touch still includes a 1920 x 1080 full HD LCD screen, a gamut of 16.7 million colors, 16 configurable ExpressKeys, adjustable stand and that trusty Cintiq pen.
