Amazon Gets Touchy with the Apple

…well, not that kind of touchy.

It appears that Amazon is getting ready for an assault on Apple (which could be the tip of a new iceberg in mobile computing). Although its acquisition, New York based Touchco, has just 6 employees and no commercialized technology (its website now says it is no longer in operation), it appears that Amazon is sweeping them into their R&D function.

Very interesting that Touchco’s technologies allow for multiple users to use one multi-touch screen – that and other innovations may bring some interesting new features, and will certainly bring pressure and healthy competition to the market.
