The story started long ago… the story of technical race. First come the radio, the telephone and the television. These devices were the heroes of our forefathers. People have worshipped these devices in the past, as it was their mode of entertainment and communication. But let’s accept it: these are so common devices that they are now taken as granted. People used them and still love them, but people wanted more than just watching television, listening to radio, and interacting through the telephones. They wanted active interaction, in which they can take part and play their role.

Then came the era of Computers and Internet, and changed the whole World with their mode of communication and usability. It satisfied a whole generation of users with every possible entertainment and usability model, but the story does not stop here; the story goes on and reaches to a point where everything mentioned above is available in a hybrid manner in your pocket, in your hand, all the time, everywhere. We are definitely talking about mobiles phones and smartphones. But if we thought that this was the climax of Computers, Internet and Mobile technology, we sure were deluded.

In today’s world, our story revolves around some selective words: personalization, customization and better user experience. Even the mobile and laptop manufacturers have started the construction of tablet computers that respond to touch input rather than traditional styled input. Many mobile phone manufacturers have started the replacement of traditional push-button interfaces with multi-touch interfaces on their handheld devices.

In this hybrid technology; you can access the world of internet, games, communication, entertainment, and everything that you can think of, literally on your Fingertips. We would like to mention the giant of touch, "Apple Inc." which is the active holder of the trade mark "Multi-touch". Its products iPhone and iPod Touch are consumed by a larger number of users who enjoy active interaction with their devices, and love to mould their communication and entertainment world according to their taste. Apple Inc., correspondingly, lists "Multi-Touch" on their page of trademarks. Apple was also awarded a patent covering multi-touch on 20 January 2009.
