Having been a previous member of the Palm Family I had owned a Tungsten E. This device was revolutionary at its time. Those of you who know Palm know that they make PDAs with touch-screens. I loved the applications you could put on your PDA, but its touch-screen was lacking. During the pre-multitouch era a stylus was necessary to complete simple task. This was boring and limited. I love my Palm, but it was dull because of the simplicity of the OS. Despite this it would crash more often than the iPhone. Trying to type with the little keyboard was a hassle without predictive typing and using the little writing box was futile (with my bad handwriting).Then Apple came along and introduced multitouch. With the iPhone my paradigm totally shifted. When someone says touch-screen no longer do I think about a stylus. Apple has made the touchscreen so intuitive and fun I sometimes would rather be on my iPhone than my PC. Scrolling is easy, selecting objects is a snap, and zooming is so fun! I also think Apple did a great job with the keyboard even though some disagree. It is exponentially better than using my Palm. Apple has continually developed products that have revolutionized the industry. The iPhone is no exception.
So am I alone in saying Apple has redefined the touch-screen? Tell me what you think.
