Synaptics to debut 10 finger multitouch technology

Posted on Thursday, July 23 2009 @ 19:37 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
Gizmodo reports the Synaptics ClearPad 3000 supports multitouching with up to ten fingers simultaneously.
The ClearPad 3000 is Synaptics' new top-of-the-line capacitive touchscreen, designed for high-end phones, gaming systems (PSP GoFaster?) and other fancy mobile gear. It has 48 sensing channels, so it'll pick up 10 fingers at once, and it scales up to 8-inch screens with narrower borders than their current ClearPad 2000 touchscreens (which senses two fingers and is used in HTC's Android handsets like the G1, among other phones).
