Word to the wise –

I don’t know how the TS (touchscreen) on the Pandora display is made/etc/so/on, but for PDAs I’ve done an infinite amount of development over the last 15 years. The way you wreck the TS on a PDA touchscreen is this — _removing_ a screen protector. Putting them on is an art (keep a credit card handy for pushing out bubbles if its a soft film kind), but the trick is removing them — especially if its been on for awhile. (Most protectors suggest removal and cleaning every month or two, because they want you to buy more; but in practice unless you hammer the hell out of them, you can leave them on for months or years. But when you take them off, the things are pretty suckered on there — if you pull them at a 90 degree peel, then you’re essentially pulling directly up on the TS and separating it from the underlieing screen. And what that means is you’re creating a very good opportunity to cause displacement in where the touch is registering, relative to where you’re actually touching it.

And guess what — when you’re applying your screenprot and you get it not quite right, you’ll want to peal it off and retry right?

Be gentle — last thing you want to do with your screenprot is bugger up your TS day one :)
