OK, let's compare the number of sold units... How many iPhone 2G and 3G have been sold? I figure it's quite a lot...<br><br>Of course you have to consider what compromises you have to make. What have apple surrendered when they selected the capacitive screen instead of the resistive? What have they gained? ... That's the things that we have discussed... Does a capacitive display restrict the resolution? No.<br>
<br>One thing I would like to have answered is, how good can you make multi-touch support with a resistive display?<br><br> Best regards<br> Anton<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 5:41 PM, Tilman Baumann <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tilman@baumann.name">tilman@baumann.name</a>></span> wrote:<br>

The type of the screen is not the only thing. Size and resolution<br>
matters too.<br>
<br>
And even more important. Price and availability.<br>
<br>
What you want is totally unimportant. The question is which compromises<br>
are you ready to make?<br>
This is nothing that can be figured out by some stupid two options poll.<br>
What goes is eventually a question that can only be answered by looking<br>
at sold units in retrospect.<br>
What you all want is unimportant, because you can not honestly say that<br>
it will bias your buying decision in a way you would admit now.<br>
<br>
I would like openmoko to do bold steps.<br>
But they should also be careful.<br>
