Naturally the iPhone UI is exciting... But I think that the UI possibilities is an important<br>reason to choose the one over the other. Like; resistive displays allow you to use<br>a stylus, which might be good when you have a small display but high resolution. On the<br>
other hand, a capacitive display can be made harder and are therefore not so easily broken,<br>the capacitive display also enables you to use your fingers in a more natural way, not<br>just one finger, but many... This means better and more precise interaction with your device.<br>
<br>Maybe we need a wiki-page where people can add the pro's and con's of the<br>different options?<br><br> Best regards<br> Anton Persson<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 2:05 PM, Vikas Saurabh <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:vikas.saurabh@gmail.com">vikas.saurabh@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

might get excited with iPhone's UI.<br>
<br>
What we would have to remember:<br>
* capacitive screen would always require a touch of finger (hence all<br>
the UI elements need to take enough space on screen) so the whole fun<br>
of high reso is gone....<br>
* otoh, pressure based screen need a little more pressure to react but<br>
is often manageable with fingers as well<br>
