Well the point I was trying to make was that the screencap linked said HTC Evo Sizzle. At one point there were two posted according to the first article I read. One that said "sizzle" and one that didn't so I was wondering if maybe there is a rumored higher end version to be released.

What kind of screens are those?

What you mention about the iPhones responsiveness and sensitivity is due it the capacitive touch screen. Instead of reading pressure as most touch screens on the marked do, the iPhone and a few others use
capacitive touch screens that instead detect touch by responding to your body's electrostatic field. This means any time your skin comes into contact with the glass the phone knows it. This translates it much better response and easier sliding across the screen because it is not dependent on pressure, only contact.
TFT and OLED screens are the display technology. I can't explain them in detail, but OLED is newer and generally better technology. OLED's power requirements are it's major draw for devices. It uses very little power compared to previous display technologies resulting in much better battery life in devices with large screens. AMOLED and such are just different variations on the implementation of OLED screens. You can read more about them here
