When the first iPhone came out, consumers were generally stunned at the touchscreen’s ease of use which could be attributed to the fact that the device features a capacitive screen. However, while that ease of use was made possible, the use of a stylus was made impossible.

Luckily, RIM has recently filed a patent for a hybrid capacitive/resistive touchscreen that will allow users easy finger control while still being able to use a stylus. This means you will be able to write things on the screen with much greater accurarcy in a future BlackBerry model given this patent goes through.
