That sounds like a resistive touchscreen, not a capacitive one. If tapping on the screen with a (closed) plastic pen works better, that is certainly a resistive touchscreen. > Is there any way to make it > easier to use this device?

It does not make pressing any easier, though it helps for things like writing and drawing. A regular stylus is designed for use with a resistive touchscreen. It does make pressing on the resistive touchscreen easier. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 4.1 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
