Exclusive: X10 Mini supports multi-touch!
In light of all the debate about the display on the X10, I decided to find a definitive answer myself. I went ahead and asked Synaptics, who’s a supplier of touchscreen technologies, and although I didn’t get the answer I was looking for, I got another rather interesting fact. Apparently, Synaptics is the supplier of the display on the X10 Mini and I’ve just been told that it’s a ClearPad 2000 solution, which means it supports dual touch – or in other words the basic sort of multi-touch. It doesn’t mean that it’ll be activated and supported out of the box – as the operating system won’t support it – but I’m pretty sure it’ll come in an update.
Now… I was also told that Synaptics is currently only the supplier of the technology in the X10 Mini and not the X10 Mini Pro. Why the difference? No idea. By the way, Synaptics isn’t the supplier of the display on the X10 either. Only X10 Mini.
