Apple Granted Important Touch Display Patent

Posted March 24, 2009 at 11:53am by iClarified
The US Patent & Trademark Office has published two new patents recently granted to Apple, according to MacNN.

The first generally relates to a passive cooling system designed for portable devices and the second patent generally relates to user interfaces, and in particular, to user interfaces that use touch-sensitive displays and include an interface reconfiguration mode.
