They should REALLY invalidate the multi-touch patent. It stiffens innovation when companies can't use something like detecting 2 points of contact on a surface.

I need to get a license from Apple too. My skin is multi-touch capable lol.]]>Mar 14th 2010 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/lenovo-unleashes-three-new-monitors-one-boasting-multitouch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/lenovo-unleashes-three-new-monitors-one-boasting-multitouch/Aah, that was meant to be a reply to above post.]]>Mar 14th 2010 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/lenovo-unleashes-three-new-monitors-one-boasting-multitouch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/lenovo-unleashes-three-new-monitors-one-boasting-multitouch/http://www.engadget.com/tag/windows7,multitouch

It's a LOT easier to scroll up and down with your finger on a mouse/trackpad to zoom in, than it is to use your shoulder and wrist muscles to raise your arm and do it "manually".

It's also a fact that finger muscles are more accurate (fine movement) than arm muscles (gross movement).

In most desktop setups, you have to reach past a keyboard and mouse to touch the screen.

And you know what, make the screen in smaller sizes as well. Say, 15''.
I'd use it on a bedside table -as a sort of remote- to run the 'central server' - managing music, video, chat, videochat, home automation, doorphone, alarm clock to wake me up with a tune or news channel,...

Does this look appealing to you?

This video is over 3 years old. What that tells me is the touch technology is ahead of the software. We need a full OS, suites, and applications built completely around touch! My hope is that Apple will continue to add to the iPhone OS to the point of where it is no longer a mobile OS but a full featured OS.]]>Mar 14th 2010 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/lenovo-unleashes-three-new-monitors-one-boasting-multitouch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/lenovo-unleashes-three-new-monitors-one-boasting-multitouch/
