Now that Apple launched the iPhone all the talk has been about its new touch-screen display. Then LG announced their iPhone rival, and Prada's entry into the mobile phones market, which also has an entirely touch-screen user interface.
Now lets be honest, the only feature that comes close to justifying Apple's claim that the iPhone is five years ahead of the rest of the mobile phones market is the touchscreen.
The screen uses a new technology called Multi-touch, meaning that the screen recognizes more than one point of contact at a time. This allows for a greater range of commands than simply pressing and letting go with a single point device such as a mouse or a stylus.Examples can be the pinch or unpinch function, that is drawing apart or closing together two fingers as if stretching or squeezing the image, or tapping with two fingers at the same time, displaying a secondary menu similar to ctrl clicking in MacOSX or right clicking in the Windows family -.
The touch-screen also enables the use of a virtual QWERTY keyboard which will appear on the screen whenever necessary, it provides more comfort than typing on the QWERTY tiny keyboard of a blackberry, but it is still somehow small in the portrait mode, landscape in iPhone gives you a bigger keyboard.
Samsung, meanwhile, are not to be left behind in the touch-screen race. They say their new W559 is the first screen to offer "tactile feedback". The VibeTonz system allows the buttons onscreen to feel more like mechanical ones, making the phones easier to use when the screen isn't clearly visible. It can also be configured to throb in different ways when receiving messages from different people!
The Japanese network DoCoMo have gone one better still. While launching the D800iDS, a new touch-screen mobile device that bears more a passing resemblence to the Nintendo DS, they also unveiled a phone that appeals to the senses in a different way.
So it seems that touch-screens mobiles are the future, and why the hell not, if it means manufacturers are going to be producing models like this one from Nokia. The Aeon, is a prototype at the moment, but there should be a worldwide campaign to get it into production. A great looking phone, the industry seems to be heading to new awesome designs based on touch screens.
