Multi-Touch All-Point Touchscreens: The Future of User Interface Design 

Jul 23, 2009, By Chitiz Mathema, Cypress Semiconductor

When it comes to touchscreens, why limit device makers to one or two points at a time? That’s the concept of multi-touch all-point, the ability to handle more than two fingers, which brings touchscreens to the next level of reliable usability across a broader set of feature-rich applications....

Use DPI To Increase Mobile Subscriber ARPU Despite Flat-Rate Plans 

Jul 15, 2009, By Todd Mersch, Senior Product Line Manager, Continuous Computing

While driving greater adoption and utilization, flat-rate plans have effectively capped the opportunity to increase average revenue per user (ARPU) via data services‹that is, unless operators find a way to do something different. Next-generation networks provide the basis for driving down the cost-per-bit while delivering vastly increased data rates, and today¹s solutions need to leverage deep packet inspection (DPI) to provide new services to the consumer....
