Ultimate Application??

Is there anyway to use the touch screen as a scale? I mean is there a program that will let you measure the pressure your "finger" incurs on the screen? Now there has to be a way to convert that to grams/ounces. I would imagine that it would take a certain amount to even activate the digitizer and it could very well be the equivalent to a minimum of .5g and that's fine with me. I just thought this would be very useful.

What will you be using it for,I can think of a couple of things but they are illegal.

I'd be using it for "baking" of course...or at least a type of it.

Remember, I am a chef.

Nobody pulled your chord. I don't know what in the world would lead you to believe you know the slightest detail about me?

Now back to under the rock from which you crawled.

would be cool, but I am 100% sure that the screen code is boolean. Either your touching it or your not. Nothing in between.

Well that throws a giant monkey wrench in my plans. Can't help to e-mail a suggestion to HTC.
