- girvo 13y agoNah, nowhere near the same. Look, I love capacitive screens. But nothing beat a stylus for accuracy when you've got a 2.4" QVGA touchscreen, and for certain tasks that was a lot better than a 3.5" capacitive one. That was when I used my M600i (then my P1i) for managing my entire life. Now, with the advent of 7" tablets I use that instead, for that sort of high info density work :) Capacitive stylii are terrible. All the downsides of needed to have something in your hand to poke at a screen with none of the accuracy that a stylus with a resistive one had.
- pessimizer 13y agoYou can make a stylus for a capacitive screen by making a capacitive stylus. My wonder is why one would make using a stylus a more difficult and expensive proposition in order to have a lower quality screen input.
- Sephiroth87 13y agoHow many use cases are there for needing a so precise stylus? Apart from drawing, I can't really think of anything that hasn't benefited from capacitive screens + fingers... If you need a stylus to read mails, use the web or normal stuff, you'll probably need a better UI, not a stylus
- pessimizer 13y agoFingers work just as well on a resistive screen as on a capacitive screen.
