Well, there is no (massmarket) implementation of multi-touch using resistive touch technology. There has been one link in this thread to<br>one that is being developed, but that technology was not yet finished if I remember correctly, and it was not licensed to any manufacturer<br>
of touch panels. <br><br>A link to the resistive, work-in-progress, multi-touch: <br><br><a href="http://hackaday.com/2009/02/19/stantums-high-precision-multitouch/">http://hackaday.com/2009/02/19/stantums-high-precision-multitouch/</a><br>
<br>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<br>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<br>
want to reach for my "precision enhancing pointing device" to use it.<br><br> Best regards<br> Anton<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 8:59 PM, The Digital Pioneer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:digitalpioneer@gmail.com">digitalpioneer@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Going to a capacitive

Did I miss something? It seems the only benefit to capacitive is that it can be more durable, and accidental touches are all but eliminated. What scenario can you use capacitive for that you can't use resistive for?<br>
