Having to use a sharp stylus to tap a tiny target is a torture.
It is possible to detect two simultaneous touches on resistive touchscreen, as Neo900 shows: http://cache.freescale.com/files/32b.../CRTOUCHDS.pdf from http://neo900.org/stuff/block-diagra...00/neo900.html . It is sufficient for "usual" multi-touch gestures, such as zoom in and zoom out, though I have to point out that MicroB supports "old-fashioned" single-touch gestures.

I prefer having precision tapping available, even if it is not required. And having dual capacitive+resistive touchscreen could be a fun experiment - thought it would lack anti-scratch ability of a usual capacitive touchscreen.

Thank you. Best wishes.
