A Turning Point for Touch Screens, Says the NYT

Posted by timothy on Saturday August 23, 2008 @05:20PM from the they-sure-make-gps-devices-handier dept.

The New York Times has a story up on the suddenly brisk market for touch screens and the devices which can make use of them, which it says "has grown quietly for years, both in commercial applications and in consumer devices." Besides the obvious (the iPhone, and Apple's use of multi-touch generally), the article also mentions the recent inclusion of Israeli company N-Trig's version of multi-touch technology in a Dell notebook computer, and some of the other places you can expect to see touchscreens instead of display-only ones in the near future — if the price drops quickly enough.

Cancel or allow what? It was an error message, not a warning with confirmation. If you really insist on insulting Vista, at least do it right.
