Digitimes, is reporting that Young Fast Optoelectronics, a Taiwanese touchscreen manufacturer, is working on analog matrix resistive (AMR) displays to be used for netbooks. That means they'll allow for multi-touch gestures, an ergonomic feature supported by Windows 7.
Multi-touch has been seen before in netbooks, but mostly in testers or modded samples. However, support for multi-touch in Windows 7 will allow for more ambitious things than in earlier operating systems.
The screens by Young Fast Optoelectronics could be available for wide distribution by late 2009 or early 2010.
