What's the touch screen sensitivity like? Why does this armband cost twice as much as other options being sold on Amazon?

I don't know why it's more expensive than other options - but I do know that this is a well made armband! I ended up getting a substitution - a waistband instead of an armband, since I use it for riding horses. The touchscreen sensitivity is better than I'd expected. It's not quite as good as with a 'naked screen', but it's pretty good - I've not had any problems whatsoever!

The touch screen works fine when the device I'd correctly fitted into the Armand. If the screen protector on the armband bubbles up, it's kind of difficult to operate

It's sensitive but as far as using all the touchpad gestures I'm gonna go ahead and say no because it's too small to be practical. However, on the bottom of the touchpad there is a small stripe for scrolling which can easily be done with one thumb. Unless you have the hands of a newborn baby I wouldn't plan on using gestures : )

I believe it's the digitizer and not the pen that makes this model cheaper. I think another pen would work, and the touch screen on this model works well, but not as well as the model with the better digitizer. It isn't just missing the pen, it has a different screen. I think. I am far from a professional.

I agree with J. Leo. The trackpad on every ASUS notebook for the past year have been terrible. I'm talking about that terrible dimpled monstrosity with the rocker switch. Here are my complaints: 1) The trackpad is on a glossy surface, meaning that if your fingers are not well oiled, the fingers do not glide across the surface. This makes using the trackpad a horrible horrible experience. 2) The dimples are not enough to indicate the end of the trackpad. Normal trackpads are recessed, leaving a slight wall to tell a user where the trackpad ended. 3) The rocker switch is not deep enough, so pressing the mouse button leaves an unclear impression as to whether a click was registered. Look at the Thinkpad buttons. Those go deep, at least by several millimeters. If you press it down, you know you pressed a button. The rocker switch goes down by about one millimeter. Not enough. Additionally, if some debris gets down there, it scrapes against the switch which sounds almost like a click. 4) The rocker switch is loud. 5) Due to the glossiness, oil and fingerprints accumulate on the trackpad itself. How ugly. (Consider this a side rant against any glossy notebook chassis.) Also, what's with the typically mediocre ASUS screens? About the only good screen from an ASUS is the 1005 HA.

So basically this item is a thin protector screen so it would not affect a plastic arm band. It is awesome and should work just fine with your accessory! (:

No real noticeable difference, hovering over the screen with the stylus still produces the same small circle, pressing the button on the stylus still makes the shortcut menu appear and the touches/long presses feel the same. Only difference is that you're pressing against a glass surface versus a screen protector so it's hard vs soft.

Display is vivid! But because it is so large, it drains the battery quicker (vs. using a viewfinder on a camera that has one). As an everyday user of an iPhone, the touch screen feels less sensitive in comparison.

The website has free shipping on all orders but this offer ends on 12/31/09.I'm going to purchase this device and an extra armband on payday (tomorrow) from their website as it's currently a lower price ($159) :)

I've had no issues with mine, the armband does what it advertises. I'd recommend it if you want it for working out or running. The side buttons all work when depressed too.

It's just about perfect. Had mine for 6 months, you can't even notice it unless you are looking. Touch sensitivity is perfect

Nope, not this one. There's another similar model with touch screen available if it is still on the market

I can only say that mine responds to very light touches. You can try plugging into a different usb port and let it reload the drivers, but I have not found any settings for touch sensitivity. You may want to talk to their customer service and get it replaced. Sorry I can't help more.

The one I have is a touch screen. They have one that is not. You can tell by the price. :-)

I found the company website (google "mimo monitors" and it'll come right up). The only thing that makes it NOT like a tablet is that it's not pressure-sensitive. So, it won't distinguish between a light stroke and a heavier stroke, for example. It's precise enough to do handwriting recognition and some basic art. Personally, I'm going for it, but I'm going to try the "iMo Touch" model (which costs $20 less, but doesn't have free shipping through amazon) because it comes off of its stand entirely to be used more like a tablet.Glad someone else was wondering, and I hope that helps!

hello, sorry for the wait. its integrated within the laptop but to tell you the truth, i would prefer another laptop. the motion sensor is very annoying and the only useful thing that i honestly use is the fingerprint sign in and the smart pass for websites. Smart pass is assigning a website to a finger. For instance, my pointer finger pulls up my email webpage, my middle pulls up my amazon webpage and so forth. Also, as we speak i am currently packaging the laptop to send back to hp to fix because after updating windows 8 the whole thing crashed and ive only had it for a few months. Im trying to see if i could return it to amazon and just buy a new one. My theory is, if this is the trouble in gettign this early in the game then i would hate to think of what waits for me down the line. I would suggest you get another laptop period.

No, I found sensitivity is slightly reduced, but its not a crippling reducton. Actually, I welcomed the sensitivity reduction because it lowered the frequency of unintended touch screen 'events'.

I did not find the touchscreen to be too sensitive at all. After a few minutes of inactivity you have to "slide to unlock" the screen for any inputs. I would say that the pressure is great, to make changes, not too sensitive nor hard. You DO have to sorta push a little bit when making changes or selections, but it seems right to me. Bottom line, I don't think that you'll be seeing some unnecessary inputs while playing a round of golf. Garmin did pretty well on this watch. I hope this answers your question.
