How Super Is Google’s Superphone Touchscreen? [COMPARISON]
In: web resources
12 Jan 2010
In an effort to shed light on touchscreen sensitivity, MOTO Development Group tested the capacitive sensing technology of the Apple iPhone, Motorola DROID, Google Nexus One and HTC Droid Eris.
The iPhone emerged as the clear winner. The conclusion being that the touchscreen gives a more accurate representation of finger path for the majority of the screen. When it comes to recognizing touch around the edges of the phone, however, the Nexus One outperformed the rest of the competition.
The test involved a basic drawing program and the use of a single finger to slowly draw straight lines diagonally on the screen, which means anyone can repeat the test on his own device. Ultimately, the quality of the touchscreen was determined by analyzing how straight the lines appear across the entire screen, including the edges.
You can see the visual results of the test in the image below, or check out the video to hear a description of the methodology and watch the test in action on three of the four phones.

So far, I adore this phone. The look, feel, ease of use is wonderful. I am also amazed at the value of this phone; after rebates, the final price with tax is $148.73. The Everything Plans start at 69.99, which is what I have. Since most of the people I know are on Sprint, the "Sprint to Sprint" covers most of my minutes so I did not need unlimited talk. On all Everything Plans, text, web, navagation, ect are unlimited.
The visual voicemail and threaded text messages are great. I also use Sprint TV when I am at the gym and I love how it works on this phone, much nicer than on my previous one. I do however wish the calendar had a countdown clock, as my old Samsung m610 did, but that a small thing and everything else overshadows this. Amazingly, when I did the "Web Sync" to get the music I have purchased from the Sprint store (I usually load my own, but I occasionally buy when I'm on the go) for my last phone, it not only re-loaded the those songs, but included ALL songs ever bought with my phone number from even 2 phones ago…
Great phone and since iPhone doesn't have a camcorder, even on the newer one to be released next month, the Instinct is by far the better choice for me. I use the camcorder a lot. It took a little while to figure out how to do long form video (I NEVER read the book, who does?) but the quality is great.
The memory IS expandalbe to 8 GB and comes with two battteries. Even on the new iPhone the battery is not replacable and this remains an issue for many users.
I have seen reviews where people complain of not be able to do certain things (ex: someone unable to change background thought it wasn't option, when it fact you can), I find that so far I can do everything that my last phone did, and then some. It's just a matter of taking the time to find a way, or going through the manual. When I find out something new, it's great. I'm sure there's more that I don't know still.
I am very please with this phone.

go to pictochat. when the ds turns on. If people are near, you can chat or draw with them. There's is an option called pictochat right after when you touch the screen.

Confidentiality agreements, non-compete contracts, and professional honor ARE most certainly enough to prevent this from happening, at Google the same as at any other company. If anything, Google's optimum working conditions would likely inspire *more* company loyalty, not less.
