The New York Times reported that Amazon has acquired Touchco.
A few days ago, I tweeted Touchco stopped doing business. At that time, I roughly guessed that it was acquired by a touch screen company, but never imagined that it is Amazon.
From the technical point of view, however, Touchco is a good choice for Amazon.
You know that Amazon’s Kindle uses E-ink display. And Touchco showed off two interesting demos showing the possibility of applying its IFSR technology to flexible E-ink display (Unfortunately, Youtube demo clips are not public now).
