Ooh, touch me baby!
Touch-sensitive surfaces have been bubbling in the background, for those in the know. But the Apple iPhone catapulted them into the forefront. And, now that it is respectable to talk about them, it’s been great to see all the amazing ideas and concepts popping up all over the place.
Well, I use the full touch capabilities of my MacBook – single-click, double-click, click and drag, two-finger scroll, two-finger contextual menu.* I also have a Mighty Mouse, with its own touch sensitive surface and multiple positionings of the finger.
Needless to say, I am now overloaded on touch, occasionally trying to use the Mighty Mouse like the Trackpad with two fingers.
What will happen when I have even more surfaces on personal devices for me finger and touch and slide over?
Oy.
*Heck, I also used the limited touch pad on my, ugh, IBM T41p, and also eons ago on my Apple Powerbook 3400c.
