After using a healthy dose of gadgets I can tell you:

For pen-writing; Pen gets 10/10, Resistive-touch gets 8/10, Active-Digitizer gets 7/10, and Capacitive-stylus gets 5/10.

For finger-friendly; Capacitive-touch gets 9/10, Resistive gets 6/10, Pen gets 0/10.

For features (multi-touch etc); Capacitive-touch gets 8/10, Resistive gets 7/10, Pen gets 0/10.

I think the best combination of touchscreen gadget would be a multitouch capacitive touchscreen with a high-quality Active-Digitizer (N-Trig).

I thanked you to compensate for the incredible amount of hate in this thread.

Though it should indeed be merged with the other galaxy thread, and at least be moved to the competitor board.

As a long time user of an active digitizer, I can say without reservation that in-my-not-so-humble-opinion an active digitizer blows a resistive stylus out of the water. End game. Death blow. Humiliating defeat. Corpse urination.

Active digitizers have three major things going for them: registering only the tip of the pen (not the hand), hover events, and tilt/orientation sensing. These make the systems incredibly versatile as input systems beyond just 'multitouch' and 'pressure' -- the former which is quite rare among resisitve devices..

But I suppose we're all entitled to our opinions. This one, is just a little hard to swallow with such a strong assertion.

About the battery, would you mind to tell me what's wrong?

Personally I just bought a Galaxy II for day to day phone work (and to develop on) and will continue to use my N900 for all work related stuff (remote admin of machines etc). I will also be using my N900 to play music to my car stereo as for some goddamn reason no android phone has an fmtransmitter.

The only device I've ever used with an active digitizer embedded into the device was my OQO 01+. LOVED it... but I'll be damned if it didn't also show my pen press too. It was not favorable in that one regard, imho.

Works best as a Wacom tablet - hands down. But with the OQO, and to a much lesser extent but still visible on the Wacom Cintiq, the fact that my pen would slightly distort the image(s) bothers me.

Try something like this, mate..

It would be better built in, but it's not the end of the world.

What do you mean 'distort the image'?

What I've always found interesting in writable screens is the distance between the surface, and the generated image. The gap makes it difficult to precisely position the pen, regardless of the technology. A pen on paper has effectively zero gap.

Perhaps the SAMOLED screen, touted to have fewer layers would be better at this sort of thing, but I've yet to see a proper pen-input solution for phones that sport this tech. Oh, and capacitive stylii, I'm not a fan of...
