That's just it though... capacitive is only less acurate compared to resistive with a stylus. For the unwashed masses that want to use their whole finger for web browsing on a 3.5" screen, capacitive does seem more responsive and accurate, simply because there is no need to actually press, which leads to less of the finger hitting the display... You're going to continue to have a huge amount of people that want a 480x320 screen with huge icons, just because they want to mash all over the screen with their thumbs...

I was actually looking at getting a HTC HD2, which has a glass capacitive screen, but the lack of an ability to use a normal object as a stylus bugs me... my fingers are too clunky to use accurately for clicking small links - I prefer high pixel density and text sizes that make links clickable only with a stylus :P
