With the development of touchscreen mobile phone, there are two major categories of touchscreen displays occurred in the cellphone industry - resistive touchscreens and capacitive touchscreens.
Resistive touchscreen can be controlled by stylus or finger, while capacitive displays can be controlled with very light touches of a finger and generally cannot be used with a mechanical stylus or a gloved hand since it relies on the electrical properties of the human body to detect when and where on a display the user touching. Therefore, capacitive touchscreen displays are more durable since it can avoid the harms caused by the using of stylus. And it is typically associated with a new technology, multi-touch. Though multi-touch for resistive displays has been demonstrated in the lab, yet is not currently practical for consumer devices.
Then what does multi-touch means? Multi-touch is a method of input on a touchscreen that allows two or more fingers to be used on the screen at one time. Apple's iPhone is famous for introducing multi-touch to the cell phone world by using it to allow pinching and stretching gestures on the screen to control zooming.
PinPhone 3GS, one of the most recommended mobile phones from Sourcinggate, also features its multi-touch capacitive touchscreen. It also enables you to perform two-finger gesture, for instance, you pinch your thumb and forefinger to shrink a photo, or widen them to enlarge it.
More funny technologies of multi-touch of will be applied in the cellphone in the not distant future. The operation of touchscreen mobile phone will be much easier and people will get more fun from mobile phone thanks to this new technology.
