More Touchscreen Panels Gain Windows 7 Certification

windows-7-logoConsumers aren’t the only ones gearing up for the Oct. 22 release of  Microsoft Windows 7. Hardware vendors are also priming the pump. Three more touchscreen vendors just received the official Windows 7 Logo certification for their display panels, DigiTimes says. Wintek is the latest recipient for the logo, with its 12.1″ capacitive panel. Cando is also certified with a 12.1″ display, but adds a compatible 10.1″ model option. EETI offers a trio of Windows 7 certified panels sized at 10.4″, 11.6″ and 15″.

With traditional netbooks generally in the 13.3″ to 17″ inch size, it sounds like most of these touchscreen panels are destined for either netbooks or ultra-light and thin notebooks. I’d be interested to see a light, usable Tablet PC with the new Intel CULV processor. One of those 12.1″ touchpanels would be an ideal size, but unfortunately, they’re both capacitive.
