Tablets supported touch input, but this was more designed for stylus
input than finger input.
Not exact matches
And Face ID — which Apple touts as being less vulnerable to bad actors
than its Touch ID fingerprint sensing — could be more secure
than using a fingerprint sensor on a phone simply because such sensors tend to be so small that they require you to
input several partial prints from the same
finger.
More
than just the twitching of thumbs and
fingers and whatever necessary
input the game requires, but the involuntary response that comes out the gameplay.
The control knob itself is quite large now and features a touchpad built into its face that allows the driver to draw letters with a fingertip when
inputting addresses or search terms into the navigation system, which at times seems faster
than inputting characters by twisting the knob and features really accurate recognition of my chicken scratch
finger scrawls.
The screen is significantly less sensitive
than the capacitive screens on other tablets (some claim that resistive screens should be better, but this one is most certainly not), and you have to mash your
finger into the screen to get it to take any
input.
via Startup gets Kindle Touch to understand handwriting Puzzle technology startup Puzzazz is giving Amazon's Kindle Touch a capability that even Amazon didn't envision — letting users
input numbers and letters by writing them naturally with a
finger on the screen, rather
than tapping at the e-reader's tiny on - screen keyboard.
The device also includes the new Swype
input method, allowing users to drag their
finger over each letter, rather
than tapping each letter individually to
input text.
While all of these along with so much more has indeed made a S7 tablet so much more alluring, the one grouse that users had of the tablet so far was its resistive touch screen which is known to respond far better to stylus or
finger nail
inputs than to
finger tips.

Given all of these options, I'm expecting three things: a variant of the software user interface that further limits users need to
input text even more
than the iPhone already does; an advanced multi-touch user interface that is optimized for five -
finger input; and the option to use a keyboard — possibly a new keyboard that doubles as a dock — when necessary.
It's quieter, offers far more variations in
input than head gestures, and could be done surreptitiously since you'd just look like you were flexing your
fingers.
