I've seen in some videos that someone uses this touchpad http://www.robot-italy.com/product_info.php?products_id=1047 , built for nintendo ds but someone connects it to arduino directly, others with resistors.which is the best way???
2)this touchpad is sensible enough to detect inputs from a slide-pression?

There is no need to use resistors, see my mood light project:

have thees touchpads the same features of the nintendo ds compatible touchpad?????
thank you very much for the answers!

Yes - look up the difference between the word sensible and the word sensitive.
have thees touchpads the same features of the nintendo ds compatible touchpad
yes but remember that features have software to drive them so while the hardware might be the same the software needed to do something will have to be written by you.

Yes you could use any 4 wire touch pad.
There might be some difference in the resolution of the different pads.

Any 4 wire resistive touch pad will work. You just have to figure out which connections are which. It is not difficult though...

I would recommend either the first or third, both the same touchpad designed for nintendo DS. You can also then buy a breakout board from sparkfun for it.
