Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't Google themselves be one of those vendors as well? Android has cursor support, and there are a few ChromeOS laptops that ship with touchscreens as well. Although, not owning any of them, I'll readily admit that I'm not sure if/how the browser distinguishes between those events - the OS might be abstracting all of that away too.
- rbyers 12y agoRight, we (Chrome team) definitely care about multi-input-device scenarios (I started at Google by leading the chrome work for the chromebook pixel). We're just trying to project out 5-10 years where we expect most Interent traffic to come from phones/tablets to a mobile-first (touch-first) world - rather than carry the baggage of the mouse-centric world. Here's some ramblings on how we may be able to evolve touch events to fill this need: http://crbug.com/404128 http://crbug.com/404128
- matthewmacleod 12y agoSure, I don't doubt there are other vendors too, and it'll be useful for everybody. Just seems even more so for Microsoft, given their push towards that sort of thing.
