Touch Test for Android lets you test how accurate your touchscreen is

I suspected that the touchscreen on my Acer Liquid E was slightly out of sync; whenever I tried to hit Space in portrait mode, I missed and ended up exiting the application, or something weird like that happened.

Touch Test is a simple, free application that allowed me to confirm my suspicions. Using Touch Test, I was able to verify that when I touched the bottom of the screen, it actually registered as much lower. I could also test multitouch, and I found out that my phone indeed supported two fingers and no more (surprise, surprise).

It's a good app to install when you buy a second-hand device, I guess. I wish that there was some way to recalibrate the screen, like I could do on my ancient Palm OS device. Still, just knowing is better than nothing.
