Capacitive. Doesn't work with a stylus, fingernail or gloves. Not good if you 
have particularly dry fingertips either. The G1 has the same problem. You can 
get a special stylus for them, but the tip's about the size of a small 
fingertip. The advantage is you can use a relatively robust glass screen 
that's more pocket-proof than a resistive screen like the one on the OM.
