Clearly the author of this article hasn't used a Tablet-class non-digitizer touchscreen before, and is comparing touchscreens only with the types used on PPC-class handsets.
Although the non-digitizer touchscreen units employed on Tablet PCs will respond to the input of a finger (rather than relying on a specialised stylus input), resting your hand on the screen while writing on it won't have any any effect. The screen surface of such units is calibrated to respond only to "pointy" inputs (such as those from a dedicated stylus, a standard pen or indeed a single finger), but will not generally respond to a flatter, wider application of pressure from - for example - a hand resting on a screen.
In the unlikely event that such an application of pressure would interact with the interface, either the screen is improperly calibrated (or has been damaged), or the screen unit is defective or substandard. |

well, it is interesting what you say, but displays with digitizer display that can be used only with special digitizer pen (and not with stylus or "pointy inputs") have one more advantage: incredibly higher (thousands of time) precision/resolution plus (usually) 512 grades of pressure. |
