> I think you dismiss styluses too quickly here. No, he doesn't. > You can be much more precise with a stylus than with a mouse. Not with a touchscreen stylus, you can't. Touchscreens actually have a considerably lower hardware resolution than the screen itself. > That's why Wacom tablets are so popular. Completely different technology. > Am I missing something here? How is a touchpad more accurate than touching a screen? By having it input movement (at a configurable granularity) rather than position. That makes it a completely different input method.
