Can someone ring up Lucifer and check that his heating's still
working? Hitachi has achieved the unthinkable in bringing together the
high precision and input flexibility of resistive touchscreens with
the finger friendliness of capacitive panels. It's graced this year's
FPD trade show with a new prototype that offers the capacitive
functionality we're all used to by now, augmented with the ability to
recognize input from a stylus or, perhaps more importantly, gloved
hands. We're sure we can hear the sound of cheering coming from the
chilly shores of Scandinavia right now. If all goes well, Hitachi
should be able to bring them (and you, and the rest of the world) this
finger-saving innovation at some point in late 2011, after production
gets going in the second half of that year. Video demonstration after
the break.
