FWIW, I think KIRF is dumb, glib, and flip.

Both have advantages and disadvantages, which have been discussed for much longer than a decade.
It's silly when people speak about one being "better" than the other.
Although, I think touch-screens are overkill for most devices, and they promote lazy GUI programming. ie. no button shortcuts for the things you use most often.
Personally I like resistive for the single fact that you can touch the screen with everything you want also its more precise

THANK YOU! I agree. I regret that devices like the N800 (with a D-pad) weren't improved upon with better D-pads instead of dropping them altogether, as an example. We would have FAR better directional controls in addition to the touchscreen GUI's and MUCH better gaming.

I'm guessing we'll see chinese resistive for as long as the already existing factories aren't being reassigned to new apple stuff. The big brands are probably already done with the fine, accurate input stylus and outdoors winter usage support.
