The Experience -
Clear Projected Capacitive High Resolution Touch Display
Some people overlook the fact that the key part of a touch system is
the touch display because the central element of the touch experience
is accurate gesture recognition. We made a beautiful 7" multi-touch
screen using a similar type of projective capacitive touch sensor as those
used in popular touch-screen mobile phones – that’s a good start. We
then use optimized touch firmware to deliver superior multi-touch
events to android.
The Touch Revolution touch screen enables a feather light finger touch and critical features such as gesture recognition and synchronized onscreen animations for flick to scroll, drag and drop, pinch to enlarge, or on-screen typing. You can use a lower-cost resistive screen (what we call a "poke" interface), but we really believe that without a high-quality touch screen you will not deliver an intuitive, friendly, usable touch device.

NIMble Architecture -
Flexible/Extensible High-Performance Module Design
We designed the NIMble module to be…well… Nimble. The main
processor board contains an 806 MHz ARM processor, video acceleration
co-processor, memory, touch display and optional MMC/SD, WiFi,
USB, Ethernet, and accelerometer components PLUS a bunch of connectors
that let you design it into virtually any industrial design. You decide
where the I/O connectors, buttons, and LEDs go and put it into whatever
enclosure you like. We call it "a jack of all trades and a master of touch."
We also recognize that Android has key hardware dependencies on buttons and LEDs, so we included Android-specific connectors for hardware features required by android while letting you design their physical implementation.

Integrated Open Solution -
Customizable Optimized Android
We have taken the standard Android framework and have done a
commercial-grade port to the NIMble Module while optimizing it to shine
on our 7" display. We make that ported code available to you to modify.
In other words, you can take our NIMble-Optimized android and make it
your own!
Design with Ease -
Development Systems for Rapid Prototyping and Design
To make it easy for you to develop your products, we created a NIMble
Development Kit so you can easily connect you hardware components to
the NIM1000 and create fully functional lab prototypes in no time. The
NIMble Development Kit lets you integrate device components before
you have final component boards, allowing you to verify your design architecture
in hardware without waiting for every component to be completed.
The main component of the NIMble Development Kit is the NIM1000 Module, which can be removed to create a fully functional mechanical prototype for usability studies or product demonstrations. Learn More...

Launch-Ready -
Tested and Qualified for High Volume Manufacture
Let’s launch some products – we’re ready when you are! We have gone
through rigorous quality assurance testing and compliance pre-certification
on the NIMble Module (You can say we made the NIM1000 jump
through hoops.)
We have also set up high-volume manufacturing lines for the NIMble Module and are ready to deliver quality-manufactured NIMble Modules as volume components to meet your product launch needs.

High-Touch Approach -
Touch Drives the Design
We are a touch company that makes electronics products, not an electronics
company figuring out how to add touch to a device. Our focus is
on integrating the hardware and software to deliver a great touch experience.
We’ve adopted the engineering approach that led to the success the
hottest new touch phones – building products around the breakthrough
UI; touch.
Touch Revolution offers touch solutions for your product. We can work with you to create the best touch experience. We know that customer satisfaction rests on a simple and reliable touch experience. Imagine adding a great gesture-based touch interface to your products without spending months and hundreds of thousands of dollars to develop the touch hardware and software.
