But the fact that the 'non-professionals' here on these types of sites are able to come up and do what the 'professionals say can't be done, is a testement to the brilliance working these forums.
I say lets let these great folks do this, and then lets piss on the apple folks when we show them that yes, we do multitouch.....with our gloves on!
Remember, what works for you is absoultely worthless and a waste to another!

So true. Couldn't have said it better myself. For instance, I don't see any point in wasting time moving an extra hand onto an already perfectly capable screen to make zooming take longer, but someone else who used a capacitive screen with this limitation might find him or herself not used to the features a resistive screen has to offer. Like that other person said, you can use it with gloves, and while I may never use my resistive screen with gloves, I do like to sometimes rest my thumb on the screen while waiting for a page to load or something. Unless you have really heavy thumbs or a way overly sensitive screen, a resistive screen wouldn't register a tap. It is really all personal taste, like Jason said. ☺
