I could not have said it better!

Besides, as the Neo900 project has found, dual touch is possible on resistive screens with the right controller.

Also, there is nothing in Salifish except pinch to zoom that requires multitouch. All the swipe gestures are just as easily achievable with single-touch resistive screens. Admittedly the Jolla screen supports a 5-finger touch but the only case when one may need more than two fingers is for applications like a piano. As far as I know, no such application exists (yet).

It is only "natural" once you know about it. When I was first handed an iPhone with a map on it, I scratched my head and asked, "how do I zoom in?" Without having been shown, it would never have occurred to me to try two fingers. Maybe it's just me.

VHS also won against Beta and Video 2000. Does that make it better?

That's strange. Out of the four N900s in my posession, none has ever required screen calibration.
