Re: fluid multitouch - video

so apparently the reason behind the incredibles fluid touch response is the new Atmel maXTouch sensor. if this is true, we are in for another treat with the incredible. the sensor offers unlimited multitouch capability.

this may not sound like much, but it will make a big difference is using apps. for instance typing on the keyboard. with primarily software based multitouch you technically could not hold a "control" key then hit "c" you would have to engage a "fn" key then hit "c". well if the incredible truly does have this sensor the incredible would be able to handle multiple keys being pressed. also a plus for when gaming. some games have on screen key controls, say we were playing an emulator running street fighter. with the incredible you'd be able to hold the "up" button and hit the "a" button to perform a strike in the air. you can not do that with software base multitouch...

silly examples, but you get the idea, haha. its a huge plus in my book. i REALLY hope that our incredibles have that maXTouch sensor...

EDIT: i was wrong in using the n1 as an example. none the less the maXTouch is a very superior sensor to most that are out in phones currently. i truly hope we are blessed with its presence on the incredible
