From Engadget:

The PMatrix multitouch firmware allows for unlimited inputs, detection of any contacting object (a finger, a stylus or even a paintbrush) and pressure sensitivity. We played with the demo unit for a bit and were frankly blown away, it’s far and away the best touch experience we’ve ever seen or felt, and the multitouch functionality is just gravy on top. Stantum is targeting resistive touchscreens because they’re still considerably cheaper to build than capacitive ones, and from our perspective there seems to be zero tradeoff — for sensitivity and accuracy this destroys everything else we’ve seen on the market, capacitive or not

.

They have a couple of videos you should take a look at. Probably not a big deal for current e-books, but it may point the way to multi-media e-books of the future. Thanks to Peter Brantley on the Reading 2.0 list for the link.
