Resistive touch screen on 600?

cmoney · 08-27-2009, 03:41 PM

I'm assuming this is the standard old school resistive touch screen since it works with a stylus? I'm just wondering if anyone has had any trouble writing with it while resting your wrist on the screen? In other words, can you write on it like normal or do you have to do some kind of wrist gymnastics to keep your hand from touching the screen? (I'm a lefty BTW but I don't think it would affect it either way.)

I'm mainly asking since I had an idea to create a blank PDF with lines so I could basically use it as a notepad and keep track of my notes.

thats a good idea! its so cool now that you can export those notes out of the reader..

It actually has a "drawings" app that let's you write/draw on a blank field and save the result. There is also a notepad for taking text notes.

Cool, saw the drawing app, but didn't see any references to the notepad.

The PDF thing could be good for templates too. Say a template for meeting notes vs to-do project tasks.

Anyway, I'm just wondering if it'll be comfortable writing on it for long-ish periods.
