Synaptics has been in the touch tech game for a good long time now – you might recall seeing their logo in your laptop’s system tray to keep tabs on the touchpad functions. Well, they do lots in the mobile end of things as well. Andrew Hsu talks with us about working with fragmented platforms and touchscreen usability in the latest cellphones. Before you start listening, keep in mind this was right before the Palm Pre announcement – we would have been having a slightly different conversation otherwise, considering they shortly after announced the iPhone-style two-finger pinch which we see in the Pre. It’s just under ten minutes, so take a listen. Also, be sure to tune in at the end of the week for our CES wrap-up edition of The Signal.
