EDGE: Touch Pro

heres the link...it was comparing iphone and touch pro....guess what....an app that no way in hell the iphone could ever use!
The screen just does not work that way. In a nut shell resistive touch screens work by having layers, when you push your finger or stylus onto it causes those two layers to make contact. Then with some electrical magic the system knows where the screen has been pressed.

It does not operate by measuring pressure. So it would be impossible to make a scale.
