The Windows Phone 7 Series has been designed to offer a fresh approach to phone software, distinguished by smart design and integrated user experiences. It takes a fundamentally different approach to phone design, with dynamically updated "live tiles" that show users real-time content directly. It also includes "hubs" that bring together related content from the web, applications and services into a single view to simplify common tasks such as reading, editing and sharing documents all in one place.

"We’re certainly pleased to see the TrueTouch solution selected for native support within this exciting new platform," said Dhwani Vyas, vice president of the User Interface Business Unit at Cypress. "The interface within Windows Phone 7 Series will enable manufacturers to take advantage of these attributes quickly and seamlessly. This software support, coupled with our broad family of devices, is going to significantly reduce time-to-market for the next generation of capacitive-touch-enabled Windows Phone 7 Series phones."

Cypress recently announced its next-generation high performance TMA300 multi-touch all-point family which offers best-in-class scan times for true multi-finger touch and superior signal-to-noise ratio for the most demanding touchscreen applications.

The TrueTouch solution allows customers to develop solutions without having to buy turnkey modules. They have a choice of using touch sensors (glass or film) and LCDs from preferred partners, and can develop innovative mechanical designs ranging from flat to curved surfaces of varying thickness. In addition, TrueTouch devices offer Cypress's noise immunity with patented capacitive sensing technology that enables flawless operation in noisy RF and LCD environments.
