Amazon Buys Touchco
Amazon.com (AMZN) has acquired touch screen technology company Touchco. Amazon, whose
Kindle e-reader will compete with Apple Inc.'s (AAPL) upcoming iPad, will integrate Touchco's
technology and staff into its Kindle hardware division. The technology used by Touchco is said
to potentially cost much less than the touch screen technology used in Apple's iPhone and
iPad. Also unlike the Apple touch screen devices, Touchco screens can recognize an unlimited
number of simultaneous touch points, according to the report.
Perhaps they will compete with the HP DreamScreen as well.
