You need you human skin to make it work. Bad news for glove drivers. Aflso.. Styluses dont work on Capacitive since there is not current on them. Theres pros and cons on both. I honestly would rather have Resistive ( what we currently have). But I am a bit confused on what this Sprint Diamond has on the center button. It almost acts as a CAPACITIVE button.

Very good way of saying that. I wanted to add that I personally find Capacitive touchpads a huge ginormous pain in the @ss because my hands don't get read properly. Perhaps my hands are too dry.. dunno... don't care. I shouldn't have to hunt for a bottle of lotion before using my computer. Perhaps some guys have that lotion right by their computer all the time and it is handy for them... *smirk*.... lol
Seriously though, every touchpad device I've ever had to use for an extended period of time was crap. (It probably also has to do with the fact that I'm in the desert and it is fairly dry here already.)
