Well, I believe this is mostly a problem with the iphone keyboard, not the touchscreen as such. Raster's predictive keyboard would work much better for that kind of input regardless of the touchscreen type I'd say. Anyway, my main point is this: 90% of the time I'm using my phone I'd like to use plain finger input. I carry my fingers around all the time. :-) There are "Iphone styluses" by the way, so I don't think precision drawing need to be such a big problem on a capacitive freerunner: http://macenstein.com/default/archives/1594 // Simon _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
