Google Cache of a story linked by Daring Fireball of an initial experience with a Microsoft Surface,
After reading that article, and thinking about how easy my iPhone was to use on day one, hell, sitting on the floor in the mall no less, I thought about something I hadn’t thought of in two years:
The iPhone needed no calibration. The touch screen just worked. No touch this cross hair, touch that cross hair.
Those little technological improvements really go a long way in initial user experience. Clearly something Microsoft doesn’t pay much attention to. Yeah, plug this keyboard and mouse in so you can click the EULA on your new $17,000 touch screen computer.
Go Microsoft.
You know, I never thought of that either…. Odd considering the countless years I’d press (and repress after a reset) those with a stylus on various palm devices… and my Treo.. Good call!
