Ever see Minority Report? Remember when Tom Cruise is moving data and images around on a transparent computer screen? Well, that touch-sensitive technology has arrived sooner than expected, thanks in part to Cypress Semiconductor .

During its Nov. 4 analyst day, Cypress announced that its touch-screen business has accelerated significantly for both cell phones and notebook computers. The top five handset original equipment manufacturers use the company’s winning designs, as does a Windows 7 laptop expected to launch in early 2010. The new portable PC “wasn’t quite as cool as Minority Report,” CEO T.J. Rodgers said on his latest conference call, “but you could see the beginning of it.”
