Re: Stantum Display on N900
 

the only use for multitouch on a small screen that i can see is with onscreen keyboards...

isn't my case but many users needs it to play games also!

Re: Stantum Display on N900
 

I would second that but the thought after it is you could use your thumb for holding down a button while you work with a stylus in your other hand. this gives a lot of cases additional to kbd usage.

covering your screen with your fingers doesnt help much for game exp. but with attached TV or using it as BT-gamepad it makes sense but thats not a common use case I think of

having a stylus enabled multitouchscreen sounds useful... any time

yeah! didn't think that!
thank you chemist

Re: Stantum Display on N900
 

I think using Stantum makes since if you consider maemo 6 has multitouch support. If the N900 is a pre general consumer device for Nokia (4 of 5), then it follows that you would try some technologies out on it prior to the general consumer release device using maemo 6.

I don't think you guys understand how development works. This close to release is way way to late to change hardware in a device.

Re: Stantum Display on N900
 

I'm sorry, but where have you heard that the n900 would have a stantum touch panel? although I would appreciate that very much, i really doubt it and iirc there are no devices with such a screen yet. well, this could of course change when the n900 gets one, but for now, I'd like to know where you got that information. As far as I know, the n900 doesn't have such a panel. However, I could be wrong there too and I sure hope it ;)

Re: Stantum Display on N900
 

If you read the first post again you will notice that it was a question. not a statment. And no we are not saying that they've changed the hardware, in that case just not impelmented the software for multi touch.

Re: Stantum Display on N900
 

I don't think we know who makes the touch screen technology for the N900. But all comments about it have said it's the best resistive touch screen they have used. Could be Stantum, could be someone else.

I don't think anyone thinks the delay is caused by a late hardware change because that just doesn't happen.
