The Rocky Horror Picture Phone: tttttouch me!

June 12th, 2007 by Mitch Brisebois

Touchscreens on your phone? More than ever the debate will rage on this summer. I was never a fan of touchscreens – until I had an IPAQ windows mobile device with a stylus. The UI was perfect for email. But with RIM creating innovative trackballs and interfaces, I’m tending back towards my initial view. Plus I gave up my IPAQ a couple months ago.

For a great take on this issue, check out Simon’s post at BlackberryCool:

Why are so many companies shying from touchscreens? Is the interface that bad? Maybe it would be just plain dumb to step onto what will be the iPhone’s turf?
