1) Is it a physical issue with the screen? I understand that the Diamond screen is resistive, rather than capacitive like the iPhone, but did they do something with the actual screen to enhance the responsiveness to the fingertip? It seems like there is a thicker glass-like material on the screen, rather than a softer screen like on the Palm Centro for example (the Centro is much more responsive to the stylus in my opinion).
2) Or is it purely a ROM issue that can be altered, at least in part, as discussed in this post?
3) Or a combo of both # 1 and # 2.

The Diamond is laminated glass with plastic...the Mogul, Touch, Treos don't use any glass at all. That's probably why it feels more stiff.
FWIW, fingernails don't register on capacitive screens.
