Actually i just thought, it would never equalize because it doesn't have a spring behind it. Meaning the initial pressure if what you get. So depending on how you set it on there the measurement would vary by the height it was let go from. Depending on the sensitivity, a few µ-meters could matter.

No, no...that's not the concept. The point is that it's digital from the get go. There is no mechanical spring to mess with. The digitizer/OS has it's own set of values to begin with. The only problem is to replace our passive digitizers with an active one...such as those on tablet PCs.
