Of all of the different developments that have taken place in the Multitouch category recently, it can be argued that the advent of wall Multitouch technology is definitely the most interesting.  The wall technology has been created by Microsoft in an effort to make their Multitouch products more accessible for the average human being.  After all, while the Surface Computer is a very impressive piece of technology, it’s not really something that would interest people outside of technology circles.  Wall Multitouch displays on the other hand can be used by anyone including conventional desktop computer users that want to incorporate Multitouch into their everyday lives.

However, it appears as though Microsoft is not alone in their plans for Multitouch, although the competition this time around is coming from an unexpected source.

Newly launched Multitouch hardware company Multi Touch Incorporated has come out with a new product known as the Multi Touch Cell.  This device is designed to function exactly like Microsoft’s Multitouch wall unit with additional functionality and a cost that might present more value for the dollar to savvy technology consumers.  For this reason, it is quite obvious that the unveiling at this time was done so that Multi Touch could take aim at Microsoft’s product and steal a portion of the wall market away from the software giant.  If they’re successful, it would represent the second consecutive loss that Microsoft has taken in a battle over a specific portion of the Multitouch market.
