the problem with that is that it's listing both capacitive (droid) and resistive (WINMO) phones together.

resistive screens go on pressure, capacitive need your finger (they'll rarely work through gloves, for example).

Then again, he has high feedback. If it works, be sure to tell us.

If it works for capacitive, it should still be capable of generating enough pressure for a resistive screen.

Capacitive can work through gloves, it's mostly a function of how sensitive the chip is set. On the Droid, its actually sensing through the glass. Capacitive can work through glass, plastic, metal (that's how the ipod dial works). If you are building your own, you can get chips that will work through inch-thick glass. while I doubt motorola put such a robust sensor in the droid, it's technically possible. Of course, the material the gloves are made of will affect the capacitance as well, and can screw things up.
