I've heard a lot of about the iPhone's keyboard being amazingly accurate. 
I've used it. It's *not* fucking accurate. Approx every 5 to 10 letters is 
registered wrong - and that's when doing it slooowly and carefully. This is 
because my fingers are not the size of a five-year-old's. I've never had 
accuracy problems with a resistive touchscreen, because they don't require a 
whole finger (and capactive styli suck, plus there's no place to store a 
stylus anyway).

Yet another reason resistive touchscreens fucking kick ass.
