RE: Creative tablet

Is that right.. 99.9% sure that the Joggler is a capacitive screen not
resistive.

Also, don't be mislead into thinking capacitive is the best.. it depends on
what doing.
For example I currently have an HTC Blackstone phone (HTC Touch HD) that is
resistive screen running Windows6mobile. A works college has one of the
newer models with a capacitive screen. I hate it.. I find the restive
screen on mine much better as I can pin point an exact area of the screen
to press by using my stylus or tip of my fingernail. On his phone you have
to use your bug fat finger and its difficult to click on small areas of the
screen accurately.. this is a real pain when using Windows Mobile because
of its small controls i.e. designed for use with a stylus.

Capactives big advantage is its solid glass (or equivalent) and so much
tougher and harder to scratch.

I've always been tempted by those cheap tablets, but I just can't
justify them for myself :-)

The number one argument people come out with is that they are resistive
touchscreens rather than capacitive like on the iPads, Desires, iPhones,
etc. On the other hand, what are they going to be used for? My Joggler
is resistive, but perfectly usable for hunt and peck menu selection
(music, RSS reading, etc).

Just some food for thought :-)
