There is no doubt in my mind that Apple is leading the biggest change in sensor touch screen technology with the introduction of the iPhone!
You may have read my previous report of the Synaptics Onyx Concept phone, which features many of the forthcoming touch screen technology. The LG Prada phone is the direct result of the Onyx concept phone.
"Optical sensors and touch will be the next big things," Nokia Chief Technology Officer Tero Ojanpera said in Singapore on Monday ahead of the CommunicAsia telecom fair.
"I believe there will be a lot of innovation around these," Ojanpera said.
The video below is a great example of the throughput rate for the new generation of touch screens with sensors.
High Tech Computer (HTC) also jumped on the iPhone bandwagon recently with its Touch phone, offering similar on-screen gesture as the Prada and iPhone.

Oh sure. NOW phone manufacturers see a “future” for all this stuff. I’m no iPhone fan boy, (actually waiting on the i-mate 7150), but come on guys. This echnology has een there for years. I’m kind of glad the iPhone will hit the market. It will light a fire under these other phone manufacturers’ rears, and they might actually start putting out some decent phones.
Apple / iPhone stole their ideas from microsoft surface. Checkout microsoft.com/surface for more info. It’s been in development for years!
