SK Telecom crams Android, processor inside a SIM card

,----[ Quote ]
| The SIM cards in cellular telephones might be

Multi-touch displays support all ten fingers at once

,----[ Quote ]
| The French company Stantum is demonstrating 
| multi-touch displays that can react to as many 
| as ten fingers simultaneously. The Android-
| ready "PMatrix" technology permits the use of 
| gloves or styli, responding to varying levels 
| of pressure, according to the company.
| 
| According to Stantum, its PMatrix IP core and 
| firmware watches every grid intersection of a 
| touch-panel's matrix and reports any change of 
| electrical characteristics, "delivering an 
| exact image of what's happening on the 
| touchscreen surface." As a result, the company 
| claims, there's essentially no limit to the 
| number of simultaneous touches a device can 
| respond to.
