Some enterprising editor has spliced together three iPhone ads, including Apple’s latest which talks about how “no iPod does this…”
This video is really intriguing to watch, and the ooooh! factor is very high. In fact, I think it’s safe to say that after watching, you’ll want to (at the very least) play with an iPhone; the pretty GUI simply looks amazing.
But.
Am I the only one who watches the guy’s finger sliding all over that gorgeous screen while thinking about how greasy it will feel after sitting on someone’s face? Maybe Apple has also created a face grease and fingerprint-resistant screen material, but somehow I doubt it.
I guess Doug will be able to let us know.

Yes, that’s one of my big questions, too. In fact, I think that Apple, as well as other companies, may spin off the iPhone video watching as its own separate device (I blather on about that on my own blog here: http://dougs-random-blather.bl.....fting.html), partly because of that. I mean, Steve Jobs may feel that “the finger is the ultimate pointing device,” but Stevarino, it’s not the ultimate *writing* device, ya know?
Fingers have oil. Faces have oil. (Especially *mine*.)
So yeah, that’s definitely one thing I’ll be looking at when I test this baby. One of the things we like to do for our Gear Diary readers, right? Lengthy testing!
