Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc Supports 'Unlimited' Multi-touch Points

Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Arc, the slim high-end smartphone that was announced at CES with Google's Android operating system on board, is reportedly capable of offering true multi-touch capabilities, with support for 'unlimited' points touchscreen.

That 'unlimited' figure is actually reduced to only 32 simultaneous loading points, but that should be enough for any end-user, since there are only 10 fingers to use on the handset's screen.

According to a recent article on Android Community, the upcoming mobile phone comes with a Cypress TrueTouch-digitizer to handle the multi-touch screen, thus having the aforementioned features on board.

The company behind the touchscreen notes on its website that the display should support up to 32 X / Y sensor inputs, something that would certainly appeal a lot to end-users:

Multi-Touch All-Point constructed Touch projected capacitive touchscreen controllers (CY8CTMAxxx) support Single-Touch and Multi-Touch All-Point (Simultaneously interpreting Any number of independent points on the screen) touchscreen applications with up to 32 X / Y sensor inputs and Screen sizes 5.4 and Below.

They allow functions Such As Keyboards implementation, input things multiple locations Into a GPS, playing video games on a mobile handset, and making multiple Adjustments to sound and / or video settings on a PMP.

Considering the fact that Xperia X10 does not come with multi-touch capabilities, though it should receive an upgrade to enable the functionality, the inclusion of this feature on Xperia Arc makes the handset very appealing.

Those who are not familiar with Cypress' TrueTouch technology should know that it offers great performance levels, through all three digitizers in the series.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc reportedly includes the CY8CTMAxxx digitizer from the company offering:
