"Since introducing its TouchPad in a notebook computer in 1995, Synaptics
has continued to expand its capabilities, adding value, intuitiveness, and
enhanced end user productivity to notebook designs," said
The Synaptics Gesture Suite(TM) 2009 (SGS) was developed from analyzing the most common workflows, from entertainment activities such as viewing photos and listening to music, to productivity activities such as accessing emails and presentations. The result is an intelligent usability model that makes it intuitive for consumers to easily understand and discover features, resulting in a better user experience. SGS represents a growing portfolio of gestures available on Synaptics interface solutions. These new gestures are compatible with hundreds of Microsoft Windows applications and enhance the value and productivity of notebook PCs and peripheral devices that use Synaptics TouchPads. The new gestures in SGS 2009 include:
In addition, Synaptics' Large TouchPad technology incorporates a new hardware pattern design that extends previous size limitations, resulting in a larger "active area" of the TouchPad -- up to 5.8" diagonal -- that may be applied in bigger powerhouse PC notebooks. One of the chief benefits of larger TouchPads is that they tend to provide enhanced usability to users when utilizing the entire portfolio of new and previously announced Synaptics gestures.
Synaptics anticipates that large TouchPads and SGS 2009 will appear in top tier OEM notebook PC models in 2009.
