Do the touchscreen and trackpad both support multi-touch gestures (two finger swipe to scroll on the trackpad, pinch to zoom on the screen, etc)?

Yes - most applications support the asus smart gesture - which goes further than most other gesture interfaces i've seen. Pinch to zoom on the screen and two finger scrolling on the track pad work great, but there are also 3 finger gestures/gestures from the edge of the screen/track pad that help with navigating windows 8. It's the nicest touch pad I've experienced on a laptop.

It is like touchpad on laptop. Not like cellphone screen. Can not work as you asked.

I have the Acer Aspire One AO722 and do not have that problem. It is of course a slightly different model, however I believe both have the same multi-gesture pad. Full disclosure: I am far from an expert!

No... it is a touchpad with touchscreen software simulation for Windows 8 gestures. It works as if you are touching the screen, so the effect is the same. For instance you can enlarge or diminish a screen view by pinching apart or together on the touchpad to get the zoom effect of doing the same on a capacitive touchscreen.

Yes. The mouse pointer will appear when you move the trackpoint and trackpoint scrolling also works.

There is no touchpad on this model, just the keyboard, touchpoint and mousebuttons, so there is no touch scrolling of any sort.

This most definitely works on Android. Specifically Android 4.2.2 on my ATT G2. Other than normal tap, this supports two finger scrolling and also two finger dragging ( one finger clicks while the other drags). I can't try it out on my windows 8 pc because I'm waiting on my bluetooth dongle to arrive. I have to say, I am quite pleased with my purchase.EDIT:Received my usb bluetooth 4.0 dongle and with windows 8.1, the trackpad is connected!What functions:Tap-to-clickTwoFinger-Tap-to-right-clickCLICK and drag (not tap to drag, though)What doesn't:Any advanced gestures. The trackpad does not show up in the logitech software. I even downloaded and installed the t650 logitech windows software, just in case, but to no success. This most definitely works on Android.

If, by "multi-touch", you mean the capability to use two fingers to pinch or spread the screen image ... then the answer is yes.

No its not a touch screen. I dont use the touch pad as much, I'm a gamer so I use a FPS Mouse. But when I do use the mouse it functions and moves smoothly and properly. Its very slow on normal settings to me.

Yes, it has, by means of two-finger click, as on Mac and some other touchpads. It's pretty nice in many ways, but I was hoping to use it to control my media center computer, and most scrolling and selecting is done by arrow keys. This has arrow keys, but they are alternate keys, which means you have to tap Fn and then tap Arrow. For scrolling down a list, having to do that for each press of the arrow was pretty much a deal-breaker. There is space on the device to the left of the keys, but that is not the touchpad. The entire device is a touchpad, and you switch between mouse and keyboard modes with a little button at the top left.

For the Venue 8 Pro you might want to look at the MouseTouchPointer app. It turns the whole screen or a portion of it into a trackpad which moves and controls a standard mouse pointer. It uses all the normal trackpad functions (tap to click, double tap to click and hold, long press for right context menu, etc.) and has a really nice overlay keyboard which supports transparency. There's a lot more to it that I haven't explored but it made my Venue 8 Pro actually usable. I just couldn't make the normal touch screen work well with my normal sized finger tips.

I once placed all 10 fingers on the screen and it registered them as a touch. Rather or not it would work to open a file simultaneously I cannot say. I disabled the touch screen not long after getting it because it kept 'ghosting' touches on the screen. I don't like touch screens anyway, so it was not a big deal. I'd be careful though, I hear defective touch screens on the cheaper ASUS models is a rather large problem at the moment.

Yes I just enabled the developer option for showing touch points and touched it with all my fingers and my thumbs at once and they all registered. Looks like it supports 10.

It is touch screen. I don't know what you mean by multi touch. Please elaborate.

This looks like this only has one trackpad button (presumably the left)...is that the case? I can't find the spec on Amazon or on Acer's website.

No, not if you mean interacting with the laptop's screen. It just has a touch pad that allows touch-screen-like gestures. For example, you can swipe to scroll up and down, side to side. A three finger swipe from the top of the screen will close an app.

No it doesn't. It has the two finger zoom on touchpad, but no touch screen :-(
