I think that the capacitive craze is fashion and just that. I think that the very small amount of extra pressure needed in resistive screens is nothing to compensate the lost accuracy, and the need to lift your finger away from the screen when multitapping (not to mention ability to draw, handwrite or otherwise keep memos on the screen). All the reviews exaggerate this with statements like "swiping, or in fact push and drag". It is true resistive screens have come a long way, it was like that the old days, and some of them even had a considerable distance between the film and the lcd making taps less accurate, but most of the non geeks I know, can't distinguish between capacitive and resistive screens by the touch, and I have to tell them the fingernail trick.
