Well, I don't think that pressure is the limiting factor. Keep in mind that a resistive screen has a higher sensory resolution than a capacitive screen - dependent on the input medium. For instance, the resistive screen has a very high resolution for a small point object, such as a stylus. Since a capacitive screen can't take inputs from a stylus, your resolution is limited to finger size. However, smooth scrolling motions are much more of a pain on the resistive screen, simply because of the need for constant pressure rather than simple finger-to-screen contact as in the capacitive model. Therefore, I don't think pressure is the limiting factor. It'll be whether or not the screen is able to report multiple pressure points or not.
