What you can see here could be Sony’s next flagship device that should apparently sport a bigger (than Xperia Z1) 5.2-inch screen with thin bezel around it.

No matter how responsive or intuitive they get, they’ve never quite been able to match the versatility of a mouse. It looks like trackpads may be getting the much-needed upgrade they deserve, thanks to a breakthrough technology by Synaptic. The new ForcePad trackpad technology by Synaptic not only detects how much pressure is exerted onto the trackpad, put also adds support for up to five fingers. This allows for numerous advanced gestures made by a combination of fingers used and force applied. Synaptic has also been able to eliminate the need for a dedicated click area, and reduce the overall thickness of the trackpad to only 2.8 mm. This means more room for other components and a thinner chassis. Microsoft and Synaptic have been working in conjunction to develop a set of guidelines for OEM manufacturers, which means that the ForcePad will be available across a wi...
