The big thing on this touchscreen is the ability to track multiple touches.
That is a HUGE technological leap. Older touchscreens (ir, capacitance, saw) would incorrectly report a touch if more than 1 point was touched. Depending on the type, it would either take the average of the touches and report a touch in the middle of them all, or it would take the largest point set. This leap changes the interface from a symbolic desktop where you can only touch it with 1 point at a time to a realistic 2d desktop where you can actual manipulate objects. This will be a huge deal in the next few years. On 2/14/06, Gruss Gott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It's pretty neat, but I don't see the chasm that was crossed.
