the iphone IS amazing

Ok. It is as amaz­ing as I thought it would be.

What a shift in how we will inter­act with devices in the future. Inter­faces for every­day use have been changed for­ever. Every­one talks about this “iphone” we should more acu­rately be talk­ing about this device. Some­thing that we hold in our hands that can morph into what we need it to be. With the Apple inter­face patent many over­lays can be applied to a device. A key­pad, a click wheel, a remote control.

With this new method of inter­face, design­ers won’t have to clut­ter a design with every mode a device must sup­ply. When the device is a phone a num­ber pad is accessed, when it is an email client it can morph to read or write.

    “Device” is under­state­ment. I used to covet Felix, the Cat’s Bag of Tricks — a Device that con­tained every­thing that was needed inside (or was it Mary Pop­pins?) Any­how — the iPhone is a device that goes fur­ther by seem­lessly trans­form­ing and enhanc­ing and pass­ing infor­ma­tion from device to device with­out chang­ing devices. Bat­man just replaced his util­ity belt with a sort­ing hat.
