The difference between iphone and freerunner is that the software on
iphone is specially designed and written for the iphone, but on
freerunner you can run almost any linux software. How would you for
example play Numpty Physics on a capacitive screen?

Point taken but my fat fingers work great on the iPhone and not so on
the FR. Also it often registers my drag on the FR as a click whereas
the Capacitive touchscreen of the iPhone and T-Mobile G1 easily
distinguish between clicks or drags. <br>
<br>
I found that the only semi-accurate method of input on my FR is the
stylus that is included, without it the phone is virtually useless to
me and with it a pain to use. I continue to use my samsung 409
flip-phone because I can easily navigate and even using that annoying
T9 input method is still 100x faster than my FR with or without the
stylus. I'm glad to see the GTA03 going to capacitive, I might be able
to make use of the screen for once.<br>
