Touch Screen Technology – How Does it Work?

touchscreen Touch Screen Technology – How Does it Work?Touch Screen Technology has been slowly becoming more main-stream with the roll out of several new smart phones and computer monitors. No mouse is required, no trackball, and no arrow buttons either. With the touch of your finger, you can launch applications, make a phone call, draw a picture, and more! It makes becoming mobile even easier, plus when it comes to smart phones, the screen is larger for better viewing. But how does touch screen technology work?

Touch Screens are able to operate using your hand, finger, or a stylus pen.

There are several different kinds of touch screens:

· Resistive (pressure-sensitive)
· Capacitive (electrically-sensitive)
· SAW (aka surface acoustic wave, or acoustically sensitive)
· Infrared (photo-sensitive)

BlackBerry Curve 8530

sprint blackberry 8530 300x262 BlackBerry Curve 8530The BlackBerry Curve 8530 generally fits into the BlackBerry line up as a refresher to the now ubiquitous Curve 83xx, and is meant to sit between entry-level models like the Pearl and Pearl Flip, and higher end models like the world-dominating Tour and Bold.

For just $50 from Sprint, users get an innovative trackpad, Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi, 3G coverage, and a surprisingly impressive 2 megapixel camera – all rolled into a nicely sized form factor.

The Curve 8530 compares will the Tour 9630 — both models are available from Sprint, but the Curve is more affordable.


BUILD & DESIGN

Overall the Curve 8530 has a fashion-forward design aimed at a younger consumer audience. Instead of a chrome bezel and pronounced convenience keys that you find on the Tour, you’ll find a rubber strip around the side with convenience keys that seem to bulge out of its sides. On the top of the device you find a set of media-control keys.

 

The front of the phone shows off what is perhaps its best feature — the trackpad in place of the traditional trackball. Whether you’re a seasoned BB veteran or a newcomer, you’ll appreciate the intuitive, easy to use reliable performance of the trackpad. This one feature alone might be enough to knock the Tour out of contention.

The keys on the keyboard are a “chicklet” holdover from the previous generation.

The Talk, End, Return and Menu keys are redesigned as if they are part of the screen — not a design choice I’m particularly fond of.

The screen itself pales in comparison to the beautiful display on the Tour, but there is nothing outright wrong with it. There’s nothing to complain about, but if you were to hold your Curve up to a Tour, you’d notice the difference.

apple ipad 300x231 Apple iPadThe long awaited Apple version of the “tablet” has arrived with the announcement today of the new Apple iPad, set to hit stores in April of this year. Much like a glorified iPod Touch, the Apple iPad sets a bar above and beyond the typical new tablets. Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the new gadget today,  explaining that this new launch is an enhanced combination of a smartphone and laptop.

Experience this and more on its large Multi-Touch screen, measuring 9.7 inches. With a high resolution, LED-backlit screen, the crisp display allows for an impressive 178 degree viewing angle, with perfect colour and contrast in any light. The touch response has been re-engineered, and the large surface makes it easy to do exactly what you set out to.

trans Apple iPadThe bonus of tablet computers is their portability, and the iPad is no exception. At just 1.5 pounds and 0.5 inches thick, it’s easy to take everywhere you go – and we’re sure there are a bevy of slick cases on the way. For those who are always on the go, they’ll appreciate the ten hour battery life and built in 802.11n wireless network, as well as an optional 3G model when Wi-Fi isn’t available.
