Embarcadero Technologies公司宣布推出RAD Studio 2010。开发者可以利用它提供的便捷的触摸屏开发框架来创建基于触摸GUI界面的程序，包括平板电脑、触摸板和kiosk程序。
该版本提供了如下的新特性和功能：
创建手势识别和触摸控制的程序。
内置了超过30种的手势设定，包括上、下、左、右以及像平移、缩放和旋转。
可以通过VCL Gesture Designer在组件级对手势进行可视化设定和添加。
可以在输入屏幕上建立虚拟触摸板和多语言键盘。
可以在只对代码进行很小的情况下就能将Delphi和C++ Builder程序升级为支持触摸和手势识别功能。
RAD Studio 2010对于触摸程序开发的支持独具特色，因为它可以和多种版本的Windows无缝接合，包括Windows 2000、XP、Vista和Windows 7，而且支持多种输入设备，包括单点和多点触屏幕、触摸笔和鼠标。
触摸操作现在已经变成了现实，而且可以向用户提供更丰富的交互体验。从kiosks和POS机到iPhone和Windows 7，手势识别功能已经成为使程序更具竞争力的关键特性，因为消费者和商家都认识到了自然输入的便利性。，Embarcadaro公司的Michael Swindell说，随着Delphi和C++ Builder 2010的发布，Embarcadero也将提供一套简单的解决方案，可以向多种Windows平台的程序中加入触摸和手势识别功能。
RAD Studio 2010的其他特性还包括：
支持Firebird。Delphi对其提供了本地支持。Embaracaro声称Firebird是全球应用最广的开源数据库。
新的DataSnap。DataSnap服务器已经扩展到了几乎所有的架构RIA、JEE、RESTful、AIR等等。
支持Windows 7。RAD Studio预计对Windows 7的API提供支持，开发者可以利用其Natural Input库Direct2D图形库。
对IDE环境进行了超过120项改进，提升了开发者的使用体验，提高了工作效率。
Embarcadero RAD STUDIO Architect
提供了适用于建模和开发 Windows 及 .NET 2.0 应用程序的完整解决方案。其中除了包括 Enterprise 版本中的所有功能之外，还包括 Enterprise Core Objects (ECO) 功能，以实现数据库驱动应用程序的模型驱动快速开发，以及包括导入和转换功能的高级 UML 建模。
小资料：Kiosks，Kiosk ModeKiosk Software广泛用于公共电脑或者嵌入系统（如可以上网的公共电话、ATM、机场自助服务系统、网吧管理软件等），这些程序一般都运行于普通的操作系统，但为了安全以及防止使用者使用其他的程序，Kiosk一般都会全屏运行并锁住系统的其他程序。虽然IE的Kiosk模式没有锁住其他程序，你仍可以用Alt+Tab来切换，但通常运行Kiosk程序的地方都不会提供键盘给你，最多只是一个仅供最低需求的虚拟键盘而已。
Embarcadero CodeGear RAD Studio 是一个完整的快速应用程序开发解决方案，为 ISV、商业、科技和工程软件开发人员提供了构建原生 Windows应用、 .NET应用、Web 和数据库应用程序所需要的全部功能 – 可以连接或嵌入任何数据库。

New for .NET development (Delphi Prism)
Go further with the Delphi Prism language
The Delphi Prism language is a great way for Delphi developers and .NET developers to write .NET applications. Delphi developers can take advantage of familiar syntax and .NET developers will find exciting language features not available in other .NET programming languages.
The Delphi Prism language has been updated with the following new features:
Enhanced compatibility with the Delphi language
Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP)
Support for Dynamic Typing (under .NET 4.0)
Delphi Prism's AOP makes it possible to change the behavior of code, add or remove fields, properties, events or methods and even extra classes, by applying special kinds of attributes - Aspects - to classes or members.
Aspects are written in Prism, compiled into a separate library, and are reusable by different projects. They are also fairly simple to write. Aspect attributes are loaded and instantiated by the compiler at compile time, and are given the chance to take very powerful influence on the code the compiler is generating.
Additional features have also been added to the language and compiler since the original 2009 release of the product:
Major Compiler Features
RemObjects Cirrus: AOP for Oxygene
Standard Aspects Library for RemObjects Cirrus (shipping as Tech Preview)
Unmanaged Exports
Generic Type Variance
Volatile fields

Runtime range checking
Range Enum Types (e.g. "type Ten = 1..10;")
Read-only classes
Support for negative low bounds in Array Types
Other New Features
CodeDom enhancements to support OxygeneInterface, OxygenePartial and OxygeneEmpty tags in UserData
Pre/Post build events
Debug options: Remote Machine
Custom "Add Reference" pane for adding Mono assembly references
New Monobjc Template and Monobjc libraries deployed with Delphi Prism
Updated setup to install the latest Mono 2.4
Added Internet Pack as an integrated part of setup
Integrated F1 help based on an offline copy of the documentation wiki
