Synaptics has confirmed that its touchpad technology is used in the latest iPod photo and iPod mini models, putting to rest speculation that Apple would develop its own iPod touchpad interface using Cypress Semiconductor chips. “Yesterday Apple announced several new iPods and we are confirming that our interface solutions are being used in those products,” Synaptics said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing this week. “As has been the case since our initial product introductions in fiscal 1996, we compete for designs on a product by product basis and have no assurances from any of our OEM customers that they will utilize our interface solutions in any of their future products.” Rumors first started to swirl when it was revealed earlier this month that Apple partnered with Cypress for the innovative touchpad on the latest PowerBook revision.
