Amtel's maXTouch capacitive touchscreen controllers are being developed for the 10-inch form factor, say industry sources, and you know what that means: tablet netbooks.
The touchscreen controllers were announced way back in May, but have now begun production.
The first of the touchscreens is known as the mXT224, with 224 sensitive modes designed to accept multi-touch inputs. Supposedly, Amtel says, this will allow the screens to "reject unintended touches, stretch/pinch and rotate gestures, handwriting and shape recognition such as face detection on mobile phones, mobile Internet devices and netbook screens surpassing 10 inches."
A smarter touchpad just might be what the netbook world needs. Aside from benefitting only artists and architects, the traditional lovers of tablets, the Amtel maXTouch touchscreens could hold sway over gadgeteers and cloud-computing fanatics as well.
