RE: [Apple iPod] Ipod touch digitizer

Simon, I'm sure the digitizers in the iTouch/iPhone are very different because they are "multi-touch." As far as stability, Barb's issue is the first I've heard in terms of complaints, but stability doesn't really equate with touchscreen problems, that's more of an OS issue. I don't have an iTouch although my wife has had one for a few months and I haven't experienced hers crashing (and she hasn't mentioned anything about it to me). My old WM phone seemed pretty stable and only had a few crashes over 9 months. My very new WM phone, though, has already crashed a couple of times in less than a week! Hopefully that's not a sign of things to come...

Sorry Michael but your completely wrong. Please don't be offended mate.
Ok, in a nutshell:-
A digitiser is the membrane on the screen that recognises input from a stylis or finger. Early palm devices were prone to serious problems recognising where on the screen the stylis was being tapped which made it extremely difficult to use them meaningfully for any length of time.

WM os devices seem much more stable and usable ( never had to reset one in 3yrs use)

Don't know about apple products & how they work but from the look of what I've seen they work in the same way.

Usually it's "co' part of codec plus its associated
hardware to take analog (such as audio input) and
make things like MP3's from it. But I didn't think
the iPod line in recent generations had those (not
internally anyway), thought it'd take a iPhone for
that. But anyway....
