"resistance"

Also, look up "pressure transducer."

you obviously dont understand what piezoelectrics are. the pressure sensing function seems to be completely separate from the actual touch function.]]>Jun 9th 2010 2:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/sony-prototypes-pressure-sensitive-tactile-touchscreen-hopes-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/sony-prototypes-pressure-sensitive-tactile-touchscreen-hopes-to/Yes, but it spreads greater amount of finger oil on the screen (bigger surface of the finger is actually touching and pushing the screen).

Get it perfect the first time.]]>Jun 9th 2010 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/sony-prototypes-pressure-sensitive-tactile-touchscreen-hopes-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/sony-prototypes-pressure-sensitive-tactile-touchscreen-hopes-to/
That was my first thought also. Sounds like SE is trying to perfect Surepress even using the same technology found in the Blackberry Storm 2.

I think SE might be on the right path though, as pressure sensing alone without the whole screen moving might be the best way to implement it. I am not even sure the vibration is necessary but I guess it would be useful at first to train the user what the different levels of force required for different actions are. As long as you could turn it off when you get used to using it is fine.

Just hope Sony Ericsson checks with RIM first before going commercial with it or they may find themselves in a patent lawsuit as RIM uses this same tech for a very similar purpose in Surepress screens with the only notable difference being that instead of the entire screen moving, SE just have the screen vibrate. Whether or not that is different enough, I'd hope SE chooses to work out with RIM rather then before a judge. ]]>Jun 9th 2010 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/sony-prototypes-pressure-sensitive-tactile-touchscreen-hopes-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/sony-prototypes-pressure-sensitive-tactile-touchscreen-hopes-to/Where's Lord Vader!?]]>Jun 9th 2010 2:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/sony-prototypes-pressure-sensitive-tactile-touchscreen-hopes-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/09/sony-prototypes-pressure-sensitive-tactile-touchscreen-hopes-to/
