Yep it is a capacitive screen rather than a resistive screen. Capacitive uses the electrical conductivity passed through the finger as opposed to the resistance used to operate resistive screens. Several devices either use this capacitive technology or will be using it in the future so I would recommend researching the devices before purchasing. Current devices that I know use it are the iPhone, iTouch, Zune HD, Palm Pre, and the soon to be release Palm Eos and HTC Hero.
