Unlocked in my pocket...

Had an interesting thing happen to me the other day. At first I thought it was no biggie, as I'm used to resistive screens, and thought I managed to swipe it just right. When I started to actually think about it, I remembered it's capacitive and nothing in my pocket should have been able to do it.

I was listening to music via head phones and it turns out that when the wire "loops" there's just enough energy to simulate a finger. The wire managed to unlock the phone and call the last number in my call history (I presumably squeezed the send button between my leg and jeans).

So, heads up everyone! Turns out pocket dialing a capacitive screen is easier than you'd think...
