Apple has created new multi-touch technology that enhances user interaction with the screens of its devices, according to patent documents.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office published a patent application from Apple on Thursday, described as offering a thinner, quicker, high-resolution screen that will be able to detect touch on the sides of the device.

    Skeptic, I wouldn’t envy my programming abilities. My mother wants me to become a truck driver so she can tell her friends what I do for a living.

    You’ve got to watch what big three (Amazon, Google, and Apple) in tech are doing these days because the rest of the world will be doing it in 2-3 years. Microsoft, IBM, Oracle/Sun, SAP, Sony, etc are all on cruise mode.

    Take the Google Nexus – the first really “good” Android phone. One big screen, no keyboard. Apple did that 3 years ago. But if you had bet, everyone would think that all high end phones would have been copies of Blackberries.

    Will the big three last? Of course not, but they are the guys to watch right now. Personally I think Amazon EC2 will shake up the IT industry in more ways than you can bet.

    And I always love people who say things like pedro who hate companies that have made mistakes in the past (e.g. PowerPC). If you’re not making mistakes, you’ll never move ahead.

    Re#22, qb… 10-4 eh.

    Interesting take on things… especially with Amazon EC2 which I find simply amazing. More than the basics of EC2 is still somewhat beyond my understanding.

    Getting old sucks.
