jim jones , 25 Mar 2009for its primary function as a cell phone it fails. my lg vu is far more better than this thing... moreFor me almost a year ago it was between the LG Vu and the Iphone. The LG Vu's interface is sluggish, quirky due to resistive touch, smaller screen, NO 3.5mm jack, NO wifi, no features whatsoever aside from any other phone in existence. I admit that the Iphone lacks seemingly simple things like videocalls (which are useless to most people, just use a PC!) and video recording, but simply put, the Iphone is the absolute best when it comes to usability and convenience in its interface, and it also has easily the most apps available to it, and not just "toys". I've used Maps and phonebook apps many many times, almost on a daily basis. They are even releasing Blood Glucose readers for iphone over bluetooth, blood pressure reader (this all stores in iphone with intuitive information regarding health help and even options to send to your doctor). As a gaming phone, the Iphone wins hands down. As a texting device, especially after 3.0, this phone will have the sleekest text interface (with threaded messages :) ) with the famous "copy paste" that so many people smash the Iphone for not having. As an actual PHONE, I fail to see what is really missing. It can do conference calls, navigate menus while talking, sending emails and text messages and browsing web ALL WHILE talking. It has mute and keypad and of course speaker phone, which can be activated right as you dial (which many phones DONT have). Its camera may not be the best, but under good light the pictures are not bad at all. Since when was the camera a defining factor of a PHONE, as you say? It could use a better one, but if pics are that important, just buy a camera, or spend 800 bucks on the Innov8 8MP camera phone. I hope its worth it :)

cheers for your prof. answer linja,
but i still insist on the sillyness of demanding, a multitouch single-finger interface,
because then a non-multitouch would suffice ?
I completely agree with you that proper multitouch , is very nice/intuitive , but sometimes too much, and your sometimes better of with one finger symbols& shapes.

Frequently the best multi-touch gestures are done with a single finger. The advantage of using a single finger to manipulate a multi-touch surface are compelling. For one thing, a single finger gesture is frequently easier to execute than multiple finger gestures. And, in my opinion, single finger gestures can be much more intuitive then multi-finger gestures.
As an example lets compare the ubiquitous "pinch" gesture popularized by the iPhone, which shrinks or stretches visuals, to the Linja Zax gesture developed by Linja Design Oy of Helsinki Finland. The pinch gesture obviously requires two fingers of one hand with the iPhone or fingers from two hands with something like the surface. While the pinch works really well, it requires frequent and repeated pinching or stretching to progressively zoom out of or into a image. Do this gesture on a global map on a big touch screen enough times and you'll soon get tired of it. The Linja Zax gesture, on the other hand requires only a single finger which traces a spiral. With each spiral (a circle gesture really) the image zooms in or out depending on whether you move your finger clockwise or counter clockwise. It's very simple to remember and to execute and is an excellent alternative to pinching and stretching.
Another example is the Swype keyboard developed by Swype of Seattle, Washington. Swype allows you to enter text by dragging your finger and pausing on keys rather than thumbing, henpecking or touch typing. It's really handy with small devices. Swype allows you to type fairly fast or even really fast when combined with predictive logic. It's a nice alternative to pecking away at a keyboard on a small device.
There are plenty of other examples of nice single finger gestures including the archetype button press, but also other less known examples like the “tack” in which you start with the tip of the finger and roll on to the pad of your finger to indicate tacking something down (sorry I can't find the video that shows that one).
The point is: when talking about multi-touch we should not insist that multiple fingers be used at all times. What is more important is that multiple fingers can be used to allow social computing or more sophisticated gestures. In general, however, I think multi-finger gestures should be used sparingly. Why use two or three fingers (or sometimes a whole hand) to do what can be done with one finger?
Of course its easy to see people going overboard with this – like videos I’ve seen where user have to memorize a number glyphs in order to request menus or help or whatnot. Single-finger gestures are extremely important tool in multi-touch design but like all gestures they should be intuitive and discoverable.

One finger gesture for zoom is better than multifingers gesture for zoom, when you use one hand to operate your phone, example while you are walking.
