On their podcast (I listen to it) there was this one guy dumping on the n900's resistive touch screen. Saying how it'll never be as good as a capacitative, etc..etc..

Which I find not necessarily valid. I kinda wanted to respond or send in a voicemail pointing out that it's more the UI then it is the choice of touchscreen. He used an example of how he say a guy have to take out a stylus to use his touchscreen phone/pda/whatever and struggle with it. Yet I can use my n800 mostly with just my fingers. I only have trouble hitting the X due to its placement and other tiny buttons but mostly everything else I do just fine using my fingers on a resistive touchscreen.

So proper UI design should pretty much eliminate most of the problems people have with resistive touch screens.
