Articles about capacitive touchscreen

I don't know if you remember the KNO, a daring dual screen tablet with two 14 inch capacitive touchscreens (here's the link to refresh your memory). It was an interesting project, a concept if you will, that now has the opportunity to come to market before end year thanks to 46 millions dollars received in funding from venture capital firm Marc Andreessen.That surely is good news for KNO, and also for us, as I can see myself with a dual screen tablet (not that big, maybe using 10 inch screen...

If I were to define right now the perfect Android tablet I would definitely say: Android 2.2, Tegra 2 graphics chip, capacitive screen with multi touch and 7 to 10 inches in size. The tablet Hannspree just announced has all that plus a few aces down the sleeve to help it become an interesting choice for those hunting for an Android slate.Tegra 2 bring full HD 1080p video playback so plenty of media to watch out there when you travel. Mini HDMI ensures you can output that video to a big scree...

After so much speculation on the Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet it's time to see some official action, in this case a very very short teaser video that tells us a little bit more of this enigmatic tablet. First, it's a 7 inch slate, just the right size if you ask me, strategically place between the Dell Streak (5 inch) and Apple iPad (9.7 inch) and features the Android 2.2 OS for starters. Maybe we'll see upgrades to 3.0 Gingerbread or what else will come up from the Google pipeline.The 7 inch sc...

Probably you haven't heard of SurfaceInk before, as I didn't till I read the news about them presenting a few interesting tablet prototypes, including a 12 inch capacitive slate powered by Ubuntu OS, with no modifications from the standard distribution. They only showcased the frame, as the prototype wasn't actually running, but it was very slim and sturdy build, featuring also a stylus, something you don't see much in today's tablets, but something SurfaceInk believes is mandatory for students ...

It's not the first time we're talking about the ExoPC slate tablet, powered by the already 'famous' Windows 7 - Atom combination, but we've never really took a look at the actual product. Engadget did and have a really nice time with it, recommended it as one of the best slates for 2010. If you ask someone what the ExoPC has special it might not be able to tell you the difference between it and another slate tablet, but for hardware geeks it's all about finish, customized interface, build qualit...

I don't know you but I like the idea of a smaller screen tablet, like 7 inches because it makes it pocketable enough so that you can carry it around with you in a backpack along with a regular laptop. That's why I got a little excited when I read about the Saycool slate type touch tablet with a 7 inch capacitive screen, multi touch enabled in programs like Firefox, Chrome or Word where you can use kinetic scrolling, pinch to zoom and other already popular gestures.I've cooled down rapidly wh...

Remember the Hanvon BC10C and the BA10E slate tablets presented at CeBIT a few weeks ago? It seems that Hanvon made real nice progress since then and got a few samples to the press to review them, which JKKmobile did and here's what they've found out about the BC10C, the model with a 1.3 GHz Celeron M ULV 743 CPU and GMA4500 graphics. If you wonder why no Atom CPU then think about performance and you have your answer. The BA10E is fitted with an Atom CPU, just like the ASUS EEE PC T101MT and it'...

IT trade shows like CeBIT are excellent to discovery young and ambitious companies, ready to put on market interesting products but lack the PR and marketing power to do so and rely on on-site reports to make their work known to the work, hoping to be seen by investors. Hanvon is one such company, who presented during CeBIT 2010 two 10 inch capacitive multi touch slate tablets, the BC10C and BA10E, both powered by Windows 7 Starter, with no further interface enhancements.Most see the lack of...

We've talked here several times about the Acer Aspire 1820PT convertible tablet, but just now there's more official info about availability and price for one of the most anticipated convertible tablets around. Why is the Acer 1820PT so interesting? Well, mainly because it's a powerful tablet with a very affordable price (think a little above other netbook tablets) but with a Core 2 Duo CPU, up to 8 GB RAM and 320 GB Hard drive.Official pricing will start at 599 EUR in Europe so expect someth...
