Touch Screen Tech

I was just thinking about how different my two touch screen technology things are. I have an iPod touch and an LG enV touch screen phone. Do they both respond the same way? NO! With my iPod, it absolutely must have finger/skin contact to do anything on the screen, which I like. When my iPod is locked, it won't suddenly unlock itself and turn itself on and start playing music at an odd time and drain it's battery or anything. I appreciate that....at least until winter when I don't want to take my hands out of my gloves to change the song. Especially as in the cold it responds slower. (I discovered with my older iPod (which needs touch for volume), that using my nose works. It's exposed to the cold already anyways). My phone, on the other hand, responds to touch but not as well as it responds to my finger nails. When I use my finger tip, it might go where I want it to, or it might not pick up on it at all. Not sure why. But if I use the tip of my fingernail, it works like a pro. I think it's really more the technology used on the PDAs which come with little pen-like sticks. I doubt it's touch technology. I want an iPhone for this reason (and others, but my blog post is not on why I want an iPhone). Unlike my iPod, my phone has a tendency to turn itself on and do weird things. I had turned my phone off when I got on the plane like a good passenger. When I got to the baggage claim, WITHOUT doing anything to it personally, it had turned itself on and called my sister! You see, my iPod would never do such a thing! Now, I keep my phone on silent when I fly because who knows if it will turn itself on and take a call or beep or make some obvious cell phone noise on a plane. *sigh* Phones...
