In response to your question, "I was wondering how big in mm the gap of air is, between the two layer?"

The answer is that it is typically between 0.05mm and 0.10mm.

@TouchInternational Thank you very much :).

Pressure sensing is supported by ipad 2 wich has a capacitive touchscreen. capacitive touchscreens FTW

[TouchInternational]

Capacitive is a better choice for most applications because it has better optics, durability and performance. But some applications require pressure sensing (resistive). For example, touch screens used in cockpits often use resistive to insure that no false touches are sensed (this can happen with capacitive). But for most applications, projected capacitive will take the cake, so check out Touch International’s MulTI-Touch projected capacitive technology video.

Why even bother going out with a resistive touch screen? Capacitive is a much better alternative. As far as durability, I can see why resistive could be a viable 'other' option, but for 80% of everything else, Capacitive is a far superior option.

You are cute.... but enough about the girl, I want to know.. can this resistive multi touch screen be put into as in a next gen archos? when is it going to be put into consumer electronics? I'd like it because capacitive is way too expensive.

Archos is a company who manufactures handheld consumer multi-media products such as MP3 players and tablets. Touch International's Multi-Touch Analog Resistive Sensor (MARS) product can be made as small as 7.0" diagonal. If you are with a company that has design capabilities, a product could be manufactured for Archos or their products, however, the per piece price would still be considered too high for a consumer grade product such as this.
