in the xperia sola hands on video, I saw the guy use a piece of cloth to touch/launch the browser. It seems that the touchscreen doesn't need conductive material to response. Does it mean that we can use normal or pointy stylus to touch the screen as well? If this can be done, it will be damn good... a breakthrough for capacitive touch.
I know galaxy note use a pointy stylus too but you can't use any other stylus except the one comes with the phone.

That video seems to misrepresent the screen's fucntion; a cleaning cloth is thin enough that the screen can still detect mutual capacitance points. From what I infer based on the actual technologies, the floating aspect isn't to be used for any actual selection or directional scrolling, it just provides the same effect as hovering over objects/icons/links with a mouse's cursor.

WHAT ABOUT XPERIA S ????

That came from a Sony blog post in December. Before the Xperia S was announced.

Don't get your hopes up no quadcore for Sony this year
Personally I don`t even want it till next year... way better for some dual Cortex A15.

I've tried using cleaning cloth to touch the screen but it wouldn't work. I beleive, the capacitive touchscreen requires a conductive material (minimal) to work so with a cloth covering the finger, no conduction available so the screen will not respond.
If the video is correct, it seems when the finger is covered, the floating technology is being used rather than the normal capacitive technology and maybe that is why it will work.
However, I guess normal pointy pen or stylus will not work since for capacitive touchscreen technology, touch area is another factor other than conductive material.

http://www.epihelion.net/capacitive_screen.MP4 My proof to the contrary.
A cleaning cloth is thin enough that a mutual-capacitance screen should still be able to pick up the static from your fingers. A glove, on the other hand, will be too thick. Most clothing fabrics are thin enough to not interfere with mutual capacitance, as well, but denim is thick enough to hinder such operation. I can control an iPod in my pockets from the outside of my pants; it relies on the same mutual capacitance that any modern smartphone's screen also relies on.

So is there something else about the screen shot? Or is it the temperature?

ST-Ericsson to restructure, possibly be acquired by AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, or TI

What Impact could this probably have on Sony's future Mobile phones?
I mean Sony would be buying their SoC's for the Middle End phones and probably Nova A9600 chip for their high end models. Do we see them getting even more delayed or anything like that?
