Future of Touch screen, & tech

MOBILE, Ala. - Retailers know people use smartphones and tablets to research products and hunt for sales. Now they're planning ways to bring the touch screen inside stores.

Soon you may be able to use touch screens to put together outfits, and match clothes. Appliance stores plan to use touch screens to highlight pricing and features, even if the item isn't in the store. There's even a touch screen Pepsi machine that can give nutritional details before you make a selection.

50 percent of Americans say they'll buy an iPhone sometime in the next 3 months. The demand was stronger last year, before the release of the iPhone 5.  21 percent say they want their next phone to be a Samsung.

More and more buyers are looking for a bigger phone, and Samsung just debuted the Galaxy Note 2, and it's 5-and-a-half inch screen. The iPhone 5 only has a 4-inch screen.
