I don't suppose the n800 is also pressure sensitive?

Applying a logarithmic scale would probably do the trick, but what do I know, eh?
Yes,
See it now. Problem is I'm so heavy handed (make sure it registers the tap habit) that I never noriced it before. Max pressure all the time...
Could be the screen protector I've got on there as well I suppose,can't help.

The really sad, kick-it-in-the-nuts-and-watch-it-cringe thing is not that so few programs are aware of the pressure-sensitivity, it is that Nokia's own Sketch program doesn't use it! Talk about stupid...

the zaurus screen has been known to be pressure sensitive for a long time and I can only think of only one program which uses it (petitepeinture, which is qtopia based), so maybe people don't actually care except professional graphics artists who will generally use huge expensive tablets and massive screens!

Nevertheless, the Itablet with its high-resolution screen and potential of pressure-sensitive stylus input could be a nice sketching and drawing platform for artists.

It's pressure-sensitive. Isn't that more useful?
Multi-touch would be much more interesting for me.
