Yes, we need... Of course IR and capacitive are really known technologies but, as you can see here, doubleshuffle says something which goes against the a priori expected behaviour. Capacitive should be FAR better than IR as touch recognition technology in every single way but adding extra layers on top of the screen. Because of it every single smartphone uses it, not IR. And because of it, I do prefer IR in an e-ink eReader where touch operations are not really crucial but screen contrast is...
But nevertheless, JSWolf, if you carefully read my original post, I was speaking about IR vs IR comparison. I mean, how well does H2O IR work? As I said, I do have the feeling that my old Sony PRS-650 is quite better, (specially more accurate), than my Aura HD. More over, the Sony included pointer is nearly unusable against the Kobo Aura HD screen: it's just not recognized but quite seldom, it seems to be too thin...
So in fact, yes, IR performance can and must be reviewed IMO.
