触控 is a term referring to the input interface of devices like iphone/ipod touch/ipad and those android phones.  触控屏 for touchscreen, 触控板 for trackpad of macbooks...etc

<p>I was busy reading about Apple's new textbook announcement on Engadget China, and I came across the following sentence:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>使用者将可轻松地以触控的方式浏览教科书内容.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>What is the meaning of 触控 in this sentence? (My guess is something like touch-control or touch-input?) Do these two characters form a word? How could I use this character combination in another sentence?</p>

触摸屏, 触控屏: touch screen, 触摸板, 触控板: touch pad. The word 触控 is commonly used in Taiwan, like that the word **user** is translated to 用户 in mainland China, but 使用者 in Taiwan.
