Just curious. Anyone know how it works? I know of several ways they make touch screens but i'm wondering which technology the P800's uses?
To me it seems quite precise compared to a real TOUCH screen that uses pressure to position the cursor.

You think?

Have you noticed the grid if you look at the screen from the side? There are also some horisontal lines..

Hmm.. Perhaps that's how a touch sensitive screen is built..

It's a resistive touch screen. There's a grid of transparent conductors that touch when you press on the screen. The top layer actually deflects, you can see this under the right lighting conditions.

Here's a tutorial: http://www.touch-screens.com/touchscreens/resistive-touchscreens.html
