Until the capacitive screen styluses hit (I know HTC has a patent or two about that sort of thing.... well OK I "read" that HTC has a patent or two...), well I could care less about the whole capacitive / multi touch thing.

I *like* the screen on my TP2, and how I interact with it. I like that I can use a stylus to draw something in ink quickly that goes into OneNote. So much easier to just draw some info than find a way to type it.

But, I have i bias. I've used several resistive screens - from the original Cassiopeia E10 and E105, to a couple Dell Axims to my Touch and Touch Pro 2. I'm USED to a resistive, touch one spot using Windows Mobile/PocketPC/Palm PC and I'm happy with the experience.

From the one or two times I've dabbled with the iPhone, not being able to tell exactly which part of my finger was going to activate which part of the screen drives me crazy. There's a reason the buttons are so big on an iPhone.

It has it's place, but the way WinMo is designed 98% of applications would perform quite horribly on a capacitive touch. Think about that any time you reach for the stylus to reach a small checkbox control from a three year old application.

WinMo 7 will likely be a good start point for capacitive touch, but we'll be howling about how none of our old stuff works right anymore (just like Vista).

The old adage, be careful what you wish for .....
