Several days back we looked at the then just released Asus Eee T91MT which featured an resistive multitouch screen. We were also treated to a little T91MT promotional video showing off some of the things that you could do with the T91MT. One of those things appeared to be pressure sensitivity, but after some hands on time with the T91MT, kubel from myt91.info found it to lack pressure sensitivity of any sort which was somewhat of a disappointment.
Fast forward a bit and now kubel as found that the T91MT really does have pressure sensitivity with one caveat, it isn’t enabled by default. Not sure exactly how many levels of pressure the T91MT can detect, but it is nice to see this technology in a resistive touch screen.
He’s even got a video to prove it:

there was a video that came out a long time ago that showed a demo resistive touch screen. it was just software by using the diameter of touched pixels to determine how hard a user was pressing. im sure theres a max threshhold build into the driver, say 1/2″ for example.

I think the video could have benifited from an atcual drawing application demo. showing shading and lines. the video showen here is missleading, i get the feeling it is not pressure sensitive and mearly changes line thickness based on the area of the screen that is activated. ie thickness of thumb vs stylus nub.

I own an Asus Eee and an acer netbook but i often use the Asus Eee because it is so much lighter and easily fits in my small bag.

my Asus Eee PC broke down a couple of months ago. I bought a new one which is still an Asus Eee, i love this netbook.
