Touch Pad/Tablet
From OLPC
The XO-1 comes equipped with a unique dual-mode pointing device. It functions both as a conventional trackpad (the capactive-sensitive "Glide Sensor") and as a graphics tablet (the pressure-sensitive "Pen Tablet").
Basic information about how the touchpad/tablet is intended to be used can be found in the Human Interface Guidelines.
