The capacitive vs. resistive touchscreen dispute has been more or less settled with the popularity of the iPhone and other lozenge-shaped touchscreen devices, but that doesn't mean the loser has to just bow out. The resistive touchscreen is still useful for more precision work using a stylus; I doubt we'll have capacitive artists' tablets any time soon. But for convenience, the latter can't be beat — unless, perhaps, someone were to make some sort of
hybrid touchscreen display... oh, you say RIM is working on that? Great!
