reports HTC will use multi-touch technology from Israeli startup N-trig for an upcoming iPad rival:
The Kfar Sava-based startup N-trig will provide the touch-screen technology for the tablet computer that Taiwanese manufacturer HTC is developing as direct competition for Apple's iPad. The so-called gPad will be rolled out in the United States in November by global search engine, email, book depository, you name it colossus Google, in cooperation with the U.S. telecommunications company Verizon.
It's a coup for N-trig, whose multitouch screen technology has led it to be called the iPhone of notebook computers, with screens that identify and respond to the touch of several fingertips at a time on the surface.
