We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "POS terminals", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
Start with the news release West Bridge controller cuts Flash media costs from Cypress Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "Controller supports up to 16 MLC NAND Flash devices, which cost approximately three times less than single-level cell NAND Flash devices for the same storage density". A few weeks before, we featured the news release Dutch touchscreens reach the UK from Touch Technologies: "Touchscreen products are suitable for anything from small portable devices to larger screens required by applications such as games, POS terminals and white goods".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Yamaichi Electronics concerning its FMS008-6000-0 SIM card holder - take a look at Low-profile SIM card holder fits tight spaces which says: "Yamaichi's FMS008-6000-0 SIM card holer is well suited to designs with the smallest of space".
Take a look also at the news release from Cypress Semiconductor, Touch screen sensors mix capacitive techniques, as well as Microcontrollers secure transaction systems from Atmel Corporation, and Printers cover full spectrum of applications from Fujitsu Components Europe.
