All Things iPhone

Posted by samzenpus on from the first-of-many dept.

With the iPhone release coming soon there is no shortage of stories being submitted. Here is an overview of all of its features and specifics on its technical workings. A list of applications is out and still growing. There are warnings however that some applications and peripherals won't be ready or compatible in time for the release. Finally with all the hype associated with the iPhone, we have a reminder of some previous Apple products that ended with a whimper instead of a roar.

    ...still no word on the price for the service. Either AT&T is being clinically stupid (are people going to wait in line to find out they can't afford the plan?), or they know that as soon as the plan price is announced all those would-be line waiters will stay home.

    Tell us how much the damned thing costs already!

    Having designed touch screen interfaces for more than 15 years now, I must say that the description of how a resistive touch screen works is pretty broken. These devices do not measure resistance nor current. They measure changing voltage.

    That leads me to suspect that their description of how the iphone multitouch works is also broken too.
