Actually, Sony has not released a single reader with capacitive screens. They use resistive screens [on top of the display screen] which is why they [the displays] [look] so terrible. Capacitive screens do not require any material between you and your screen [they are behind the display screen] and thus do not cause glare or blurring. They don't work with gloved fingers but I find this to be a small sacrifice. The iPhone is an example of a device with a capacitive touch screen.

Me
The Multi-Touch versions allow the sensing of more than 1 fingertip at a time, for shrinking and etc..

Capacitive Touch gets my vote.
