I think you might have some rose colored glasses on. Resistive screens suck. Even modern ones are less accurate than the original iPhone with respect to touch.

I think you might have some rose colored glasses on. Resistive screens suck. Even modern ones are less accurate than the original iPhone with respect to touch. They can be good if you have a narrow tip stylus, but otherwise they have always seemed borderline unusable to me. I always end up using my fingernail because touch recognition is so poor. And anyway, to whatever extent you can type on a tiny keyboard or select a tiny checkbox with your finger, it comes down to software, because your fingertip isn't precise even if the screen is. Scroll bars also suck for touch devices because they have to be so absurdly wide to be usable.
