Sharp Has A New Multi-Touch LCD Ready For Mobile Products

by Staff Editor on August 31, 2007

Could the next iPhone or the latest iteration of the iPod have this technology implemented into it? If Apple were to implement a multi-touch LCD like this into their devices the applications would be nearly endless. Just imagine being able to use multiple gestures at a time to edit videos and photos you just took with your iPhone. Another possible use would be in the music industry, making and producing beats ... continued »

A new Multitouch product from Apple?

by Chris Scott Barr on March 2, 2007

The Multitouch technology that we're going to see in the iPhone just might be showing up in a new Apple touchscreen PC. This rumor stems from a statement regarding the successor to the current Logic software. “Basically the rumor is this: There will be no Logic 8. The successor to Logic 7 will have a new name. The unnamed application will be 10.5 only and will work with a new line of ... continued »
