Multi-Touch Technology In Laptop Computers

The future lies in your fingertips, multi-touch technology that began to slowly slowly conquering the market. Innovation in this area are still quite shy, but here are the guys from Cypress Semiconductor company are a step forward. They recently presented their new multi-touch technology that can recognize TrueTouch achieve up to 10 fingers simultaneously. By comparison, current multi-touch devices to handle only two pressure points, having problems as soon as the user enters a third point of pressure. Most of Cypress have solved the problem, or at least it shows using the tablet PC prototype 14-inch touchscreen shown in the video below. New technology TrueTouch copes perfectly with several pressure points (6 or 10) and, as declared by manufacturers, will be applied to various devices with screens between 7 and 17 inch. It is also compatible with the new operating system Windows 7. Unfortunately, nobody knows when will appear the first gadgets to use this technology.




Imagination is the first step towards innovation. Most of the Asus are very well proved that in this chapter and presented in the CES 2010 a line of products designed to provide Internet connection wherever you are. Waveface could mean redefining the computer world as we know it. But still there. Asus has presented three different gadgets, all very interesting and very original, but in the meantime remain pure theory. You can see how the video made by Asus.

Light is a tablet PC Waveface extremely thin and light. It can transform and laptops, due to flexible screen that can bend and on-screen keyboard. As for surfing the Internet, has the capacity of a normal computer. This gadget looks very interesting, but no other product in the series does not allow inferior.

Waveface Ultra is a computer / mobile phone that can be worn at hand because the flexible OLED screen or that of a bracelet if needed. And not only that strangeness: the gadget may be controlled by touching the display, and by simple gestures made by hand in the air.  The last product in the series is Waveface Case, a huge screen for home. It is actually a TV connected to the Internet. And it can be controlled by gestures made by hand in the air. As I said, none of these three do not exist. They are just ideas presented by Asus and may never reach the market.

One of two: either the FCC will ruin the plans of all manufacturers of portable, because the Commission’s website all information about models appearing unannounced yet, or its benefit, because it is stir around future models still unannounced. Samsung X20, for example, is a mini laptop with the 10.1 inch screen and processor Pineview which was recently on a visit to the FCC.

The LCD screen has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. In terms of technical specifications, Samsung X20 does not differ very much from the rest of the Pineview netbook sites already existing on the market: we have known the 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N450 staying near the video card Intel GMA 3150, RAM up to a 2 GB and 250 GB HDD (but probably there will be more options for storage space, including a 320 GB HDD). Otherwise, meet the usual connections, that is 802.11 b / g / n WiFi, Bluetooth and even HSPA 3G, a 1.3 megapixel webcam and a 4 or 6 cell battery.

In terms of design, mini laptop keyboard chiclet is quite tiny and lightweight, weighing only 1.2 kg (with 4 cell battery) and measuring about 17 cm x 28 cm. Will be equipped with Windows 7 Starter and instant-on system SmarTone 2.0.

According to information from the website committee, Samsung X20 will be released (do not know when and at what price) in several regions – U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, China, India, Korea and Singapore. However, is expected to reach the market by February-March. It seems that there will be more models: X200, XB200, XD200 and XV200. Moreover, the X200 I’ve ever seen at CES 2010.
