> you need something with big buttons > that is finger-friendly, I'm surprised how much accuracy a capacitive multitouch mobile has when in touchscreen terms it is actually extremely poor (3-4mm) exacerbated by them not responding to nails (conductive), a trade-off for size and multitouch. Many have much better accuracy (infra-red, resistive) and certainly will have multitouch too in the future. Websites having big buttons represented by tiny ones visually on Android is certainly true due to this.

The 10 touch Baanto has very good accuracy ( < mm) and is an example of an external infra-red that actually doesn't work with Linux due to an indirectly related bug last time I checked even though it is alleged to by Baanto. Some accurate single touch resistive touches also work as a standard mouse though they require detection and the movement being inverted, but it would be a very simple driver. The supplier had died but it seems to have been revived recently. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
