Droid Touchscreen Less Accurate Than iPhone's
gyrogeerloose writes "A test published by MOTO labs comparing the accuracy and sensitivity of smartphone touchscreens among various makers gave the iPhone top marks ahead of HTC's Droid Eris, the Google-branded Nexus One and the Motorola Droid. The test was conducted within a drawing program using a finger to trace straight diagonal lines across the screens and then comparing the results. While it's not likely that a smart phone user is going to draw a lot of lines, the test does give some indication of which phones are most likely to properly respond to clicking on a link in a Web browser."
No, it means the iPhone is best at determining finger position and movement. Zoom a picture, rotate, or just select a position within a text file or an icon, and the iPhone will do a better job than the others.
It also means you didn't RTFA and only posted to get publicity for your half baked opinion.
Infuriate left and right
iPod users have bigger dicks than Android users.
IPod users have smaller breasts than Android but only the male ones.
But... the future refused to change.
All that means, though, is that the Droid is not a good choice for a phone if you want to draw on it. I am still able to use the on-screen keyboard just fine and even in a web browser I never have problems tapping a link no matter how far I am zoomed out. This is definitely not a deal-breaker for me
So, in other words, you've figured out which features are important to you, which are less important to you, and a lack in a feature that isn't important to you.... doesn't make the product worth less over to you.
That's a pretty smart point of view.
Might even be why you're the kind of person who owns a Droid, unlike those stupid iPhone sheeple blinded by Apple's shiny marketing into buying a phone that has a locked-down app store and no tethering or hardware keyboard.
