Sick of iPhone? One more post: Why multitouch was just a hype

Please, take a (long) time to watch the guided tour to the iPhone to realize 3 things (2 were already pretty clear):

1. Multitouch is a great technology, but not special in small device. Why? there’s simple not much that you can do on such small screens. You gonna realize that in the video

2. The UI has a long, long list of very very nice screens and well solved interaction issues. As an interaction designer it’s a delight to see it.

this picture shows the very nice “edit” mode for the bottom screen menu. Simple and effective. I will write a full review on how iPhone solved some of the most annoying things on the iPod.

3. It’s Apple, so of course they won’t give you a toe to step on, so while demonstrating the browser they show ” how to open a new browser window” but they don’t show how to move between windows. My tip on that : It works just like the Webkit based browser on s60 devices. =)
