It's the right decision because the touch-screen paradigm is simply not useful or ergonomically acceptable on a standard desktop display or a laptop display for prolonged use. For the ATM machine (despite what one respondent wrote here), the self-checkout at the supermarket, and similar brief encounters it is just fine. On iPhone and iPod Touch Apple's touch-screen implementation is sublime and a work of pure genius, as it will no doubt be on the iPads that my wife and I will order ASAP.

Take > that, Apple! HaHa, HoHo, & HeeHee! Well done, Davoud. Except that you forgot to mention you'll have to mail the device back to Redmond to install the Service Packs. Plan on every other month. |
