ABSTRACT

In many ways, it is the use of your fingers that makes touch so compelling on iOS and Android devices. But there are some caveats you need to keep in mind as your little digits tap on your OLED screen. • Not all touch screens are the same. The king of sensitivity is

the iPhone 4; no matter where you touch the screen, you will get the desired response. In contrast, the original Motorola Droid was a big disappointment for sensitivity. You often find yourself repeatedly tapping the same area before you get the desired responses. (Note: The new Droid Incredible is much better.)

• Your fingers are not as delicate as a mouse. The reality is that a mouse or stylus is a much more accurate pointing device than your fingers. Keep this in mind as you design you apps.
