Computex 2009：義隆電子發表的 SmartPad 多媒體遙控器
****
義隆電子的透明觸控式面板成為今年 Computex 2009 「Best Choice of the Year」最大賞，當然是看好為來3吋以上觸控式裝置將是未來消費性電子產品的新主流。除此之外義隆電也開發了一台多媒體遙控器，外型就是我們已經遺忘許久專為 Windows Media Center 設計的多媒體遙控器，但魔鬼的地方在於遙控器後背。
這款名為 SmartPad 的多媒體遙控器，神奇的地方在於後面是兩塊觸控螢幕，你可以把它當作無線觸控版使用，然後也可以把兩塊觸控版作合體技執行多重觸控功能，像我們熟悉圖片拖拉放大縮小的功能全都有。
不僅如此，SmartPad 觸控版部份還可以當作電視遙控器使用，電視上會有一個虛擬按鍵可以讓你按下直接選台。最後的殺手應用大家也應該想到了，兩塊觸控板用來打電動就對啦！
我們已經迫不及待跑去義隆電的攤位逛逛了～跳轉看精彩的 SmartPad 展示影片，不看可惜！

<Computex 2009: SmartPad MultiMedia Remote Controller from ELAN Microelectronics>
ELAN Microelectronics' transparent touch panel have received this year's Computex 2009 "Best Choice of the Year' award. Obviously it's a move to cut into the new 3" and above touch-based devices market, which is becoming the new mainstream product for future consumer electronics. Apart from the touch screen panel, ELAN also developed a multimedia remote. At first glance, it resembles the long-forgotten multimedia remote for Windows Media Center; however, the magical part of it is on the back of this remote.
This SmartPad multimedia remote controller has two touch pads on the back. It can be used as one wireless touchpad or the two touch pands can be combined for multi-touch applications, including the all familiar feature like photo zoom-in and out with simple drag-and-drop action
The touch-panel can also be doubles as television remote. On the television screen, there would be virtual keys for changing the channels. Finally, the killer application for these two touchpad would be - as one would guessed - for playing games!
We can not wait to see more from ELAN showroom. Continue for more SmartPad show reel.
