    Cheap resistive touch tablets have been a thing for a while. Don’t bother, they’re awful compared to capacitive.

        It has a place on ruggedized devices. Resistive allows the use of an all plastic screen but only really works well with stylus input. Think lower screen on a Nintendo DS/3DS and you’ve got an idea of resistives’ usability limitations.

      Of course, I just didn’t think Android would support them. Haven’t seen a single resistive touch Android device before.
