terminals Nokia Lumia 820/920 launched yesterday by the Finnish company come with an interesting technology developed by a manufacturer of trackpads for laptops. Synaptics is the name of this company, its ClearPad Series 3 sensor is included in the new Nokia terminals, and with its help users can use a smartphone even when wearing gloves. Yes, you will no longer have to buy special gloves to control a touchscreen, but you will be able to use these Nokia terminals no matter what gloves you have on your hands.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Synaptics Inc. (NASDAQ: SYNA), a leading developer of human interface solutions, today announced that the new Nokia Lumia 920 and Nokia Lumia 820 will be the first smartphones in the world to use a new advanced multi-touch experience based on the Synaptics ClearPad capacitive touchscreen sensing technology. Synaptics ClearPad Series 3, the first mobile touch solution for premium high end smartphones, has raised the bar for high performance touch on the Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 with the introduction of support for gloves and fingernails.
I don't know if anyone at Apple sees the news released by Nokia, but it would be great if the iPhone offered a similar functionality for the tens of millions of users who still use the devices in the winter.
