Impressive! Basically a chip with integration of improved analogue sensing from 
the display, improved (guessing: hard-wired logic) touch thresholding and track 
categorisation (the latter probably an 8-bit CPU), all in very minimal silicon, 
for low power and high speed. It may be "just" integration, but, it's seriously 
good engineering: algorithms, analogue, digital and computing. Very cool - 
literally :)
