Although Apple and Palm are making no comments and are tight lipped about the supplier of the multitouch hardware for their respective handsets namely iPhone and Palm Pre, but rumors are flying that Cypress Truetouch technology is being used in both the devices.

After the much talked about Palm Pre demonstration in CES 2009, Apple is finally speaking up and showing its concerns about some of the features offered in much acclaimed Palm Pre.
“We don’t mind competition, but if others rip off our intellectual property, we will go after them,” were the words of Apple Executive Tim Cook, while describing about growing iPhone competition.
Both the Pre and the iPhone have capacitive panels capable of recognising multiple points of contact and complex gestures; judging by the state of the technology, it’s fair to assume that today’s implementations of multitouch are simply scratching the surface of what is possible. Palm is believed to be using a capacitive panel by Cypress Semiconductors, who boast their technology is capable of individually tracking ten touch-points; the origin of the iPhone touch panel is still unknown, although in Cypress’ video demo they do show the Apple smartphone at several points.
