| 666504 | 2008-05-06 19:05:00 | I don't understand why the iphone is so popular.Touch screen has been release for other mobiles long before iphone was release? Hmm..Guess I better use my dad's O2 atom mobile for a minute and see if his handwritten recognition works Yes, touch screen technology has been on other phones for a while although judging by the "awkwardness" of using some of the other brands of touch screen phones for web surfing, looking at pictures, video and general navigation the makers didn't get the implementation right. Regarding games on the iPhone - Sega, Nintendo, EA are some of the game companies writing games with the SDK, there are loads more. computerworld.co.nz |

Sounds like it does everything but that. Ken |

| 666507 | 2008-05-06 21:22:00 | From what I have been reading, Apple will be selling the next 24 million iPhones unlocked since more than a third of people who by them unlock them anyway. I have a feeling that the price will also be considerably cheaper than the mark 1 version and there will be a lot more apps and widgets that you can put on it without having to jail break it first since the developers have been hard at work on the SDK since it was released earlier in the year. While Apple may sell it unlocked Vodafone will sure as hell lock it here in NZ so that you can't use it on those other evil networks and pollute the Vodafone brand.. |

| 666508 | 2008-05-06 22:11:00 | I don't understand why the iphone is so popular.Touch screen has been release for other mobiles long before iphone was release? Two reasons main reasons. First, the interface can be operated without having to use a stylus. Second, it supports multiple touches ('multi-touch'), which is a huge advancement in touch screen technology. It is probably difficult to understand the difference if you have never used one, so when it comes out here, go to a store and try one out (or if you have a friend with an iPod touch, the experience is similar minus the phone functions). |

| 666511 | 2008-05-07 03:14:00 | Maccrazy: Multi-point interactions nice and all, but highly over-rated IMO. You've seen Minority Report right? Imagine controlling your PC like that, damn you'd get tired as quickly... And you can use other your finger on other devices too, such as my iMate JasJam, but have you tried it for a long period of time? I work with Computers all day but still my fingers manage to leave greasy marks all over my touchscreen when I touch it... |

One day they may discover the superior abilities of a keypad and control pad........ |
