Talk about Talking

Remember, I’ve been almost completely incommunicado for the past couple of weeks (inadvertently and intentionally). I mixed metaphors in a recent entry, but I hope to redeem myself in this one. Minutes after whipping up my communications communication report, Vik Dendi blasted me a URL with a screen capture of the potential iPhone device. It’s the first semi-legit presentation I’d seen of Apple’s alleged entry into the telecommunications arena. “Many functions. No buttons.” Sounds interesting, but I gotta say that I’ve always disliked (to an extreme degree) any phone that lacked tactile feedback. When I want to mash “5″, I don’t want “4″ or “44″ or “45″ or any other digit series! Then again, I argue that an input device is diseased if it doesn’t have at least two buttons and a scroll wheel.

If companies are going to go the button-less touch-screen route, then they should put in a rumble feature when you finger over a key (and only actually input the key when you lift your finger off the screen).

to my ear. I also agree with Chris that not having tactile feedback from buttons is bad (at least for numbers). There’s a reason why some phones are better than others. Some are more like a phone and others aren’t. I don’t like the others… (via Chris)
