Droid has a capacitive screen. How does this program work when the screen does not measure pressure?

No matter what the use or need, it would be a cool ass program to have.

I believe it's only available on the HTC Droid Eris. A buddy of mine has it and it weighed a nickel at 5 grams which is what it should be so it definately works.

You sure it wasn't an app like the iphone that "weighs" the object? Like he could step on his phone and it would still register 5 grams?

The Droid Eris has a Capacitive touch screen. Weighing anything on it is impossible. It measures the distortion of the electrical field to determine input, not pressure like our TP2. Unless there is something I am missing, its impossible on that device.

Your friend probably ran this app: http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f...50/#post288013

i hope you didn't get fooled by this app

but on a serious note, i would definitely pay for a scale app if it worked to weigh stuff 3.5 grams and under
