but most screens are capacitive now isnt it ?

So does it makes sense to plan to use hildon and then a resistive screen ?
Resistive touchscreens are still manufactured, and N900's one is a very good touchscreen with high sensivity.

Capacitive touchscreens can offer only more fingers at time (multitouch) which now it is useless with Maemo (no software layer for multitouch).
Furthermore there are various chips (touchscreen hw driver) which can implement dualtouch (and gestures recognition) on standard resistive touchscreens.
So Neo900 can have multitouch (dual), if the hw designer wishes to add it, without changing N900's touchscreen.
Of course multitouch only for future software or at least for an Android port (Neo900's nitdroid)
