Apple Losing Touchscreen War

Posted by samzenpus on from the what-about-the-battle dept.

An anonymous reader writes "While Apple's iPhone may be the first device most people call to mind when they think of a touch interface mobile, the 3G device is still lagging behind in the touchscreen shifting stakes — it's getting a sound thrashing from Moto and Samsung, who've cornered the Asian market where touchscreens are popular for their ability to let users input Asian languages without all that fiddly Qwerty nonsense."

    Can't we just go back to basics? I just need a phone that I can use to dial out and accept calls on. I'm always in front of a computer, so why would I mess with a micro sized screen. I guess if everyone thought like me, Apple would go out of business.

    That says something about either the intelligence of /. moderators or of Family Guy viewers.

    I didn't realize there was anybody who still watched Family Guy.
