Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this. With all the evolution of the smartphones, on crucial aspect has been completely overlooked. That is one of accessibility. This seems driven by iPhone. The current crop of capacitive touch screens are all but useless for people with impairments to use by artificial hands. This is really a shame because resistive touch screens work incredibly well with prosthetic hands or other devices secured to hands that don't work very well. There is barely a mention of this shortcoming anywhere among smartphone developers. Everyone seems desperate to copy the iPhone features without regard for the effect on the broader population. I've written the folks at Apple numerous times and yet to get any response of any kind. It would be a shame to see Android devices to get locked in competing for Apple's niche market. It would be great to see more attention devoted to making it easier to incorporate these resistive touch screens into their devices. I'm currently stuck using Windows Mobile on a Palm Treo, only because it does offer a very good working resistive touch screen. I'm sure there are many veterans and others with physical impairments would love to get their hands/hooks or whatever on an Android powered device. Sincerely, David
