Title: Capacitive or resistive: what's the best type of touchscreen?
Post by: Simon on April 28, 2010, 22:25

Paul Ockenden explains smartphone touchscreen technologies:

I’m going to deal with a topic that’s sparked more than a dozen emails recently. A typical one is Steven Barrett, who asks:

“I keep reading about capacitive and resistive touchscreens, but I’m not sure what the real-world differences are. Capacitive screens generally receive more favourable reviews than resistive, but I’ve seen some strong views in the other direction on various blogs and online forums, with people saying that resistive screens are more accurate. I’d appreciate your views on which screen technology to choose.”
