Sorry I meant exactly what I said: this is how the touch screen hardware on
the Nexus One works (which is essentially the same screen as on the G1 and
myTouch). The Droid has a sensor from a different manufacturer, with
different behavior. Other phones will likewise have different sensors.
This has nothing to do with the Android platform. Please do not file bugs
about it. Android is just reporting what the hardware is capable of
reporting. There is no "normalization" for games or such, there is just the
data the screen provides. (Though there is some special code in the current
framework for cleaning up the data from the Droid screen; arguably this
should be in the driver or firmware for it, since this is really screen and
hardware specific kind of stuff. At any rate, it is not applicable to basic
screen capabilities like here.)
