Global revenues from touch screen technologies will nearly double in the 2006-2012 interval, driven by the diffusion of the iPhone, says research firm iSuppli. Touch screen technology revenues are expected to surpass the USD3bn threshold this year - from 2.4bn in 2006 - and hit USD4.4bn by 2012.

"Catalyzed by Apple's iPhone, sales of touch screens using projected-capacitive technology are growing dramatically," said iSuppli senior analyst, Jennifer Colegrove. "This technology is more durable and has better transmittance than the more commonly used resistive technology."
