With the arrival of the HTC Touch HD2, brings the first windows mobile capacitive touchscreen phone!
Now what's the hype and the differences?
1) Pressure
Resistive screens work based on pressure and to register a touch, pressure must be applied. Capacitive on the another hand works on the principle of the human body being an electrical conductor and hence no pressure is required. A mere touch will do.
2) Sensitive
Resistive screen requires pressure and hence may not register light touches. Capacitive does and hence this translate into smoother flicks and scrolls.
3) Ease of use
As resistive screen works on pressure, any item can produce a touch. A pen, style, finger nails, anything! For capacitive screens however, you strictly need your human touch to produce the electrical distortion. Therefore, no more stylus unless it is a special conductive one.
There you go, a basic summary of the two different technologies :)
