Android touch screen performance test procedure How to test your touchscreen 1) Install Chorded Keyboard GKOS from Android Market and start the application with default settings. 2) Type iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii by hitting b and g keys at the same time several times with your thumbs. Results 3a) If you get iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, your phone has genuine multitouch (at least genuine double-touch). -> OK 3b) If you get iiiiqiqqqiiiiiiQiiiiiIiiiiiqiqqiiIii, your phone has poor multitouch, just designed for pinch-to-zoom. 3c) If you get something completely different (e.g. bbbgbbgbbgggbbbgggbgbg), you phone has no multitouch. How to use GKOS in each case 3a) Congratulations for the superb Android phone! You have all features of GKOS available. 3b) You can use GKOS to test the concept even with two thumbs but with poor response. It you use single-hand      typing by sliding your finger/thumb to the second key when required, the response is accurate. 3c)  Try the single hand sliding method (as in 3b). It may work.  Touch-typing on a touch-screen   Indeed, in horizontal position, you can type while keeping your eyes on the text, but this is true only after getting familiar enough with the layout of course.
