Multi-Touch Technology on a Laptop

Perhaps the iPhone’s most distinctive and best loved feature, multi-touch technology has fascinated technology fans for over a year now. But while the world is waiting for Apple to put multi-touch on a Mac, lowly Elantech from Taiwan, has made the technology work on a laptop trackpad.

Elantech calls it “Multi-fingers Smartpad.” They used it on an Asus laptop and has been wowing visitors at their CES booth (those who deigned to drop by anyway).

You can resize, rotate pictures using two fingers just like the iPhone. Pretty cool, especially if the trackpad could be bigger.
