Capacitive Screens A Possibility for Windows Mobile 6.5

The reason that many Windows Mobile 6.5 devices will retain the resistive touchscreens is that quite a few programs and apps still require small, accurate touchscreen input. Capacitive touchscreens do not offer that degree of flexibility yet. According to Marcus Perryman--a "developer evangelist for Windows Mobile" according to WMPowerUser--capacitive touchscreens will still be available on some Windows Mobile devices.

Windows Mobile 6.5 has primarily been designed for resistive screens because some input areas still rely on small controls and require a high level of input accuracy that can’t be easily achieved with a finger and require a stylus; however some device manufacturers are considering options to ship capacitive screens.
