What do you mean? You can get a stylus that works with capacitive touch screens: http://songtak.manufacturer.globalsources.com/si/6008826112271/pdtl/PDA-styli/1006246576/Touch-Pen.htm Just about all phone manufacturers are going to capacitive screens as they virtually eliminate accidental touches in something like a purse or pocket. Calibration used to be an issue, but resistive screens are made with pretty good tolerances now and don't often need recalibration once manufacturing goes into mass production. How a keyboard works with the iPhone is it expands a key on touch, lets you slide your finger if you missed the right one, then types in when you release. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
