I am sure, you are able to solve many many technology challenge by using this. I will really for the moment to see it in commercial market. Keep on doing. I am also working on Multi touch technology. Lets see future. ~ swanin Really a great !!

I am sure, you are able to solve many many technology challenge by using this. I will really for the moment to see it in commercial
market.

Keep on doing.

I am also working on Multi touch technology.
Lets see future.

I can see this taking off in tablet convertibles...now if only they'd develop bigger versions. The company's site shows a 3.5-inch screen as their largest product. Personally, I thought the use of a paintbrush showed high sensitivity and that zoom-in with the stylus demo was pretty accurate. Handwriting recognition should improve.

Though, these are generally useless without capacitive Touchscreens wich renders this technology no more useful. Though, if they really get it right with the on screen thumb keyboards i might be considering a slate style device in the future. They would have to get rid of that bezel around the screen though (as HTC did with their newer phones - touchscreens wich are completly flat with the rest of the device).

For new phones you could always use a capacitve touchscreen if you would want multitouch but changing the touchscreen in existing phones is an awful task to must normal users. I would really like to install this software on some of my organizers/phones. On the other hand i dont see any real advantege in having multitouch. Sure it is somehow better than nothaving it but there are few programs which are actually faster/easier/in general better to use with multitouch. At the moment, Multitouch is just a nice feature to show off in front of your friends. What really matters with this news is if it will become avaible on existing phones.

I like capacitative, but there are times when I need to use a stylus (handwriting for instance, or drawing diagrams). Resistive technology will advance to the stage where the sensitivities are indistinguishable.

That is ok but i was really upset that the top cover come with scratches. I dont know what am i going to do. I rop them a email so awaiting instruction from them. their services is go but the scratches really spoil my mood.

The Pogo stylus for the iPhone is smushy (arcane technical term, sorry) and delivers a varied circumference surface when pressed down. While I'm not thrilled with its performance on the iPhone, used on this screen, it should do the same and might be a great proxy for pressure. I can only assume that the screen software can either be adjusted for finger size (not great,) or that it calculates the degree of change in area (better.) “When you apply more pressure to a surface with your finger, the skin around the bone presses down with a larger surface area, this obviously doesn’t occur with the tip of a stylus.”
