Welcome to the fourth issue of Touch Point, our quarterly online newsletter. Here you'll find information about our latest products, news of what Stantum has been up to, and a look at what's on the horizon. It's our way of keeping in touch, which is what Stantum is all about. First, a couple of announcements: Our much anticipated Slate PC demonstration platform will be available in January 2010. Also, Stantum has opened an office in Japan, and recently one in Taiwan as well.

In this edition of Touch Point, Guillaume Largillier – our company's co-founder and chief strategy officer – reports on Stantum's presentation at the DisplaySearch Emerging Display Technologies Conference in San Jose, Calif. You'll also find news about Stantum's Slate PC demonstration platform being certified by Microsoft as Window 7 compatible, and a new partnership with Gunze USA, a world leader in resistive touch-panel manufacturing.  

Our ON THE HORIZON page will tell you what upcoming trade shows and conferences Stantum will be participating in, and you'll learn through the GRAPEVINE how the aforementioned Gunze USA is using our technology. Our TAKE THE FLOOR page features a commentary by guest columnist Jin Kim on how multi-touch technology is poised to enhance productivity in a vast array of applications; Kim is founder and president of DisplayBlog, which provides news and analysis on the display market, products and technology.

I hope you'll find Touch Point to be informative and valuable.
