How is a capacitive screen supposed to work with a full page browser pumping its output at you through a 3.5 ", WVGA screen?
Isn't there an accuracy issue? Click-able control elements on even some mobile web pages are actually quite small. I have a hard enough time selecting check boxes with a stylus on a 4.1 " resistive screen sometimes.

Maybe the next poll should have another option:

"Select this option if you are using a capacitive touch screen."

Could a capacitive touchscreen user do it?

I'm not trying to be difficult but I had written off capacitive as being more expensive and less capable than a comparably sized resistive screen. Other than multi touch and the ability to use a glass surface with a capacitive touchscreen, has anything changed recently to make capacitive more competetive?

Also, wasn't there other issues with using a capacitive touch screen when it is below freezing? Has this changed too?
