The consensus is that the iPhone and iPod Touch’s capacitive multi-touch implementation is thoroughly better than all Android smartphones. There is scientific testing, which proves that Apple’s touchscreen technology is superior.

DIY Touchscreen Analysis from MOTO Development Group on Vimeo.

MOTO has conducted an objective series of tests among four major smartphones: the iPhone (first generation), Google Nexus One, HTC Droid Eris, and Motorola Droid. The result is that - surprise! - the iPhone came out on top. Instead of using sophisticated software for the tests, MOTO relied on a basic drawing program, which anyone can download and try too.

Slowly drawing straight lines correctly is virtually impossible on poor touchscreens. As the title picture indicates, the iPhone’s ability to track gestures trumps the rest. Designing a responsive and accurate touchscreen is not just about hardware; software algorithms and user interface are important too. Companies that skimp on quality components and/or use less than spectacular software, needless to say, produce the worst touchscreen products.

With the iPad, Apple has the huge advantage of possessing the greatest touchscreen in the business (with an IPS panel to boot). ARCHOS’ deplorable Windows 7 tablet just proves that a bad touchscreen is unacceptable.

While my myTouch’s touchscreen is okay, its sometimes erratic responsiveness is frustrating.
