"According to analyst firm DisplaySearch, just over one million desktop PCs/monitors were sold in 2008 with touch, and this number is projected to grow to more than 2.4 million in 2009. And a recent article in Computerworld notes that several other major computer vendors including Lenovo, Acer and Sony will soon launch their own touch PCs. In the meantime, Microsoft is preparing to launch Windows 7, the first-ever operating system with built-in multi-touch functionality. The combination of these efforts has led DisplaySearch to predict that the global touch screen PC market will reach $9 billion by 2015." – Alan Cheslow |
