Like on a GPS, that makes sense because you only have one hand available and you need something that's easy to to tap and get what you want quickly. A phone that you carry and use in one hand a lot makes sense too. But a touch screen monitor? To me that is dumb. You know how quickly your arm would get tired if you had one of those at your desk? A mouse makes perfect sense there.</p><p>I think the Pre is a good idea, because you have the slide out keyboard for typing but the touchscreen for things like browsing the web, switching between apps ets.</p><p>I think that touchscreen technology has finally just come down so much in price, and it's a cool technology, that companies are finally able to take advantage of the wow factor here. Eventually it will likely only shake out to a few products that make sense.</p>TechFreakFri, 23 Oct 2009 09:59:44 -0000
