Video: Robot Finger Tests and Ranks Smartphone Touchscreen Performance

Apple's iPhone reigned supreme, followed from a distance by the Google Nexus One

MOTO labs already won us over by running comparison tests of smartphone touchscreens, but commentators complained about the possible inaccuracies of a human-finger methodology.

So who came out on top? Apple's iPhone touchscreen bested the competition by a good margin, but Google's Nexus One and the HTC Droid Eris also turned in solid performances. The Motorola Droid fared the worst and ran into trouble even on the "medium touch" test, while both the Palm and Blackberry devices showed signal loss on the "very light touch" test.

Take a look at MOTO's light-fingered robot in action:
