Most of the touch screen experiences out there

We were building touchscreens
before the iphone
We have kickass customers
(you know who you are)
Here’s the problem…
businesses expect that by providing
their content on a touch enabled
device, they will magically
captivate the user in new and
exciting ways.
They are putting too much faith in the
Hardware itself.

Of course you can’t do that!
I can’t even believe we would seriously ask you to
do something like that.
Because it’s all about the apps
If there weren’t apps to
serve your wants and
needs it wouldn’t matter
how technologically
advanced the phone was.

Know Love Your Audience

Good Question
As a leader in interactive
hardware, we have been
exposed to thousands of
customers wants and
needs.
Other software
developers are typically
niche and do not see
nearly the volume that we
have over the years..
This has allowed us to
take a very educated
inventory of the features
and functions people want.
Most companies are looking for
the same features and functions
the only major difference is
the way they want it presented
Most of the software companies offer either
Off-the-shelf or fully custom solutions.
