For example, if you want to do Android, have spinners, animated this and that, it's all very pretty but it is very complicated. It will take quite a bit to learn and is, in fact, is not something an embedded engineer really has a good grasp on because it's more web-oriented tools. Our embedded touchscreen system is very easy to use. The great thing about it is, when you're developing a system, an embedded piece of equipment, you want to take an incremental approach. You really want to start off by making something very simple and work from end to end. I have a screen with a button on it. I push the button, my embedded device does something. The embedded device has an input, [...]
