GTA03 Touchscreen Capacitive (was Re: OT: iPhone howto)

Well, there is no (massmarket) implementation of multi-touch using resistive
touch technology. There has been one link in this thread to
one that is being developed, but that technology was not yet finished if I
remember correctly, and it was not licensed to any manufacturer
of touch panels.

A link to the resistive, work-in-progress, multi-touch:

But except for the multi-touch; the "more durable" argument is really
important to me, at least.. I want to carry my phone with me
everywhere, and I want it to be easily accessible everywhere which means I
don't want to put it into a protective thingy, and I don't
want to reach for my "precision enhancing pointing device" to use it.

    Best regards
      Anton
