According to the new digitimes rumor, Nokia is planning to launch a high-end handset which will use capacitive screen instead of resistive screen, which all Windows Mobile devices use (till) today.
The capacitive screen are easier to use as one has to apply way, way less pressure as compared to the resistive ones. According to many online sources, the Windows Mobile 6.1 cannot support capacitive screens, but this is unsure about the Windows Mobile 6.5. Let’s hope that at least Windows Mobile 7 makes the way for the capacitive screens, if Windows Mobile 6.5 cannot.

It’s been announced that WinMo 6.5 has not got Cap screen support, it IS in WinMo7 though, and first device to use it will probably be the ZuneHD
But there is NO assurance that ZuneHD will run Windows Mobile
