I'm not sure of that yet... resistive display can't do multi touch, but 
they might be pressure sensitive... or rather can do 'area pressed 
size', witch can translate to pressure for a soft tip like a finger.

Might be good enough... But choosing *one* limits the risk of 'false 
positive'.

You could integrate it with some pin code function... You strike a self 
defined pattern to unlock the phone.

Just as an example... split the screen 9 equal parts like a keypad. A 
strike starting at 3 and ending at 5 equals 35, a tap at 7 is a stroke 
starting and ending in 7 so equals 77. Than You can get a 4 digit pin in 
two strokes/taps. an 8 digit pin in four strokes. Say You have to enter 
the right strokes within 5 sec to unlock the phone. The phone unlock 
when You lift Your finger after the last stroke, so Your stroke can not 
interfere with any app runing.

Now I start to feel safe that my pocket can't crack the phone :-)

But the strokes must be possible to enter with one hand without visual 
contact... so the details might need to be different... Think I need to 
have the neo in my hand to really 'feel it out'.
