I find it interesting that this tech is only just becoming available for flagship phones. It seems to be the same algorithm that BlessN900 was using for the Nokia N900, back in 2010: https://web.archive.org/web/20100903131550/http://blessn900.com:80/ https://web.archive.org/web/20100903131550/http://blessn900....
- swampthinker 8y agoIn retrospect, the N900 was such a visionary product. Maybe not as much as the Palm Pre, but close to it IMO.
- alphabettsy 8y agoIn what way other than the camera? Nokia flagships like this, the N95, N8 and more in that generation had some excellent cameras. The N900 had a resistive touchscreen at the same time the iPhone 3GS and Nexus One were available. The OS was a blessing and a curse.
- skykooler 8y agoOne nice thing about the N900's resistive touchscreen is that it was pressure-sensitive. This was great for drawing apps (notably MyPaint), and I haven't really seen a similar drawing experience on a phone apart from Apple's Force Touch.
- alphabettsy 8y agoTrue. Ability to use with gloves as well. Apple could probably make the Apple Pencil work with iPhones, but it probably wouldn’t be worth the hassle.
