Occasionally the touchscreen calibration just seems to go nuts. It doesn't
seem to happen often, but it occurs on all sorts of devices. You can get to
the recalibrate function by going to the launcher (iTask or equivalent button
on the 3600), pressing the iTask button again several times to get to the
settings tab, and then using the directional pad to select the Recalibrate
icon. Alternatively restarting seems to do the trick as well.
I'd love to sort this out permanently but am not really sure where to begin,
considering it is difficult to reproduce the problem consistently.
Cheers,
Paul
