Multi-touch sensing technology provider Stantum Technologies is introducing a new version of its SMK series of multi-touch demo, evaluation and development kits — which enable vendors and OEMs to develop their own multi-touch applications.
Featuring a 4.3-inch touch panel, the new version will be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (Hall 2.1, Stand 2.1F67) in Barcelona, where Stantum is demonstrating it on a Texas Instruments OMAP35xx platform. The demo is based on a beta version of the company’s new multi-touch framework called Touch Park and it shows the screen’s implementation in such apps as address book, drawing, picture resize and gaming.
In addition, Stantum is also exhibiting its 2.5- and 3.5-inch SMK kits, whose touch panels boast the highest performance in transparency (83% transmission) and ultra-low activation force (10g).
Every Stantum’s SMK features:
- Stantum’s patented PMatrix, finger-friendly resistive multi-touch detection platform,
- A hardware kit made of a resistive-based touch-screen sensor, a multi-touch controller board with a USB connection to the application host processor; and,
- Drivers for Windows, MAC, and Linux operating systems.
More information is available on Stantum’s website.

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
