    Did I spot pressure sensitivity?

    What part of the video are you seeing pressure sensitivity? When inking?

    I noticed the pressure sensitivity as well.
    At .46 seconds in, he wrote “Yes”, the curves at the end of the letters indicate pressure sensitivity.

    You’ll notice the difference when you compare it to time 1.55 seconds, where he writes “Flow” and there is no pressure sensitivity

    I have the T-91 (when it first came out), and the lack of Pressure Sensitivity was one of the biggest drawbacks (as well as lack of an active digitizer.)

    I didn’t think it was possible for just “Touch” screens to do pressure. Maybe its that program specifically, but if there was a way to enable the pressure for a program like photoshop, I would use the t-91 a lot more often.

    Since this is a simulated mock-up, not a live demo, I wouldn’t read too much into that instance of pressure sensitivity.

    So, do I take it from the demo above that this new T91MT multi-touch model could be used as a note-taking device with OneNote? That vectoring shouldn’t be an issue as it often is when inking with touch screens? Or am I just seeing what I want to see?!

    DP: I would imagine palm rejection would work more effectively in a multitouch system since it can recognize multiple simultaneous points of contact and reject big hand shaped clusters. On the other hand, it might treat it as a multitouch command instead. Going to depend on the software.
