Nexus S has a much better touch screen than Nexus 1. It can do I believe 5 distinct fingers pretty cleanly.
Xoom has a quite good touch screen -- it can do 10 distinct fingers I believe. The main issue with the N1 is multitouch -- the sensor just can't completely detect two fingers at the same time. It can do it well enough to detect pinch and swipe gestures, but there are cases where it will report the fingers in the wrong locations. That said, for single finger interactions the sensor should be fine. The N1 I've had for well over a year tracks my finger perfectly well. And it tracks two fingers well, except for the cases where the screen thinks they are in different positions then they actually are. (The main form this takes is if you put two fingers on the screen at a diagonal from each other and at exactly the same time, the screen may think you are touching in the two opposite corners then where you actually touched. The touch data for movements however should still be quite clean.) Oh yeah I forgot, the actual screen does sometimes report bad data, so there is this function here in the framework to clean it up a bit: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=services/java/com/android/server/InputDevice.java;h=414b69fabdc825c34adda4091cd06c16147499d4;hb=refs/heads/froyo#l248 If people started seeing problems in the 2.3 update, I wonder if this code is no longer working correctly? 2.3 completely rewrote the event dispatching code so the referenced code here no longer exists, but a similar form of it should be in the new native event dispatching.
