Apple Losing It’s Touch?

That’s what some people are saying after the $200 price drop on the iPhone. (Smart move, now college kids can get them for Christmas). Thinking about the previous post on The Mobile Web, I thought I’d mention the move they made in that space. In lieu of the iPod Touch & iPhone built in Wi-Fi capability, Apple is enabling mobile access to iTunes for instant music to either device. The multi-touch interface is now figuring more prominently, and I think we’ll start seeing more (at least from Apple) exploring it’s use. A flat multi-touch keyboard maybe, you can rearrange the keys for efficiency in typing and not for a typewriter (did you know your current keyboard design is the way it is to prevent pairs of typebars from striking the platen [of a typewriter] at the same time and sticking together). It will be a while before the youth in America despise us enough for being tied to such an outdated trend, so don’t expect something too drastic too soon. BTW, if you did buy an iPhone before the price drop, don’t worry it’s not all bad news. You can score a $100 credit to any Apple Store.
