Multi-touch comparison: HTC Incredible vs Motorola Droid vs Nexus One
The Nexus One has some major problems with its display, and especially with its ability to understand multi-touch. The display doesn’t accurately sense multi-touch gestures across the same axis. In the video above, you can first see a demonstration on a HTC Droid, and after that for comparison the Nexus One.
The video shows exactly what the problem of the Nexus One is. When using two fingers and moving them over the same axis line, the screen doesn’t display the correct position of the red/blue indicator on the screen.
Google has blamed the sensor for this, but now Android and Me has revealed that the sensor is working as it was designed to. It was never designed for multi-touch input like this. The sensor used on the Nexus One is Synaptics ClearPad 2000.
Another comparison video after the break showing the difference between the Nexus One and a HTC Incredible. The HTC Incredible uses a Atmel maxTouch sensor, that was originally designed to handle multi-touch gestures.
