Apparently most PDA’s use 4-Wire Resistive touch screen technology. However I am not positive on this.

Technology

Different touch screen technologies:

  • 4-Wire Resistive
  • 5-Wire Resistive
  • Capacitive
  • Surface Acoustic Wave
  • Infrared
  • Strain Gauge technology
  • embedded ccd in panel - can't find link but light detectors can be intermixed with light generators, maybe on an oled display, so the computer can detect when light reflected
