[GTALUG] touch screens

[o1bigtenor]

Greetings

Reading of the announcement of 2 new 'smart' phones at the meeting prompts
me to ask the question.

Am I the only person who finds that touch screens don't work worth a !@#$%^
using my fingers?

Thumb, index and third finger take repeated attempts to get a result where
the fourth finger seems to work 'ok' its not very 'comfortable'. I do work
with my hands, albeit not like I used to, so I do have calluses (they
really aren't as thick as they have been at some times in the past though),
- - -- is that
possibly why I haven't been able to find a touch screen that 'works'.

I haven't only tried one 'brand' of phone either. The iPhone is a little
less problematic but not enough so to warrant any kind of purchase from me
(that's without the absolutely stupid pricing levels). Have used LG,
Samsung and Motorola and the issue is consistent.

At this point my opinion on touch screens is that they are over priced
gadgets that I would rather not use.

Regards

Dee
