Silly wm5 easter egg ?

Don't ask me how i figured it out but.. I was tapping on the start button, and noticed the "click" was rather loud. I tapped it again, and it appeared quieter.. Apparently a hard tap will make a louder "click" then a soft tap.. Just thought it was interesting. I'm sure there is some soft of software that might take advantage of this.

maybe the "tap" you're hearing is more of a "crack", from your old friend the digitizer? :D i dunno i try to be as gentle with my baby at all times

Okay... really Aaron, it's good stuff huh?

Seriously, I even took off my screen protector. You must have a "special" edition Axim!!!

This could techically be possible, depending on how the digitizer circuits are layed out. A hard tap would result in the stylus hitting a larger area of the screen, returning a multi-value result. But, since it is probably connected through a hardware interface, the position values would be averaged there and would never make it to the OS.

Regardless, WM5 does not have this feature. :)

I don't think the screen is really pressure sensitive. I have doubts in this story. What bluevolume said was probably the most reasonable comment.

Screen tap sounds are not enabled... I will have to connect my axim to my work machine when i get in.. I'll record it, and then analyize the audio. I swear there is a difference !!

Ok, so i'm still working on recording the sounds. I had a co-worker listen "blind" he also said that one click sounded louder then another. I have 3 other ax's i can test today. Maybe it's just me ?
