Wednesday January 10, 2007Yes , at last the wait is over of all Mac Fans...with Steve announcing the most awaited Apple Product of the decade "The iPhone" at MacWorld 2007, San francisco. A soon as i came to know that Synaptics is the partner Company of Apple then I started imagining the possibilities the future may have for all of us. The "onyx" concept of synaptics technologies...which are innovators in Human Interface for computers/devices is really a revolutionary within itself which says you don`t require any harware buttons for operating a device. See this link for that concept. http://www.synaptics.com/onyx/ But i was wrong in guessing the partner company for multitouch screen.There were independent researchers too like Jeff Van who demoed themultitouch screen concept on big screens in Feb ` 2006 itself about a year beforethis iPhone was intorduced.Video can be found here,http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=884017118027634444&q=multi-touchBut later i cam to knew that the company behing this tech is FingerWork ergonomicswhich was well know in making gesture pads for MAC and PC both.See one example of it.http://www.fingerworks.com/gesture_guide_web.htmlI also happen to visit some places on net which gave insights about what was Apple upto...

Everything can be converted to a software and just a pointing device like "Stylus" or "Finger/s" will solve the purpose. As Steve Jobs said in yesterday`s key note (9th jan at MacWorld 2007) that we have solved this problem in computers 20 years ago, where you use a bitmap image as a button for any operation and a pointing device like "mouse" for this purpose. In the same fashion that solution has been finally introduced by Steve in the third revolutionary product "iPhone"....after "Macintosh" (revolutionized Computer Industry) in 1984 and "iPod" in 2001 (revolutionized the Music Industry). It is bound to shake it for Cell Phone Industry now and Oh boy...he introduced the "iPhone" in his own unique electrifying and captivating way. Apple loves uniformity in such a way, that they have kind of squeezed the MAC OSX and built it as a foundation for software in the mobiles. A solid MAC OS X foundation helped Apple to make waht they called "Desktop Standard" applications...which i take it as..fully functional applications...no crippled small adjustment kind of application. The look of the phone is similar to ultra-brightening shine of MAC OS X on Macbooks, MBP or iMacs...Its a sunshine phone... iPhone consists basically a combination of 3 devices.. 1. iPod (Music, Video, Photo and other) 2. Phone (SMS, Normal Calling, Conference CallingTouch Screen, BlueTooth, WiFi Enabled) 3. Internet Communicator (Mail, Safari, Voice Mails Visualizer) In addition to this it has three special sensors for sensing the proximity of your face so that when you are picking up the phone the video fades out, then for a light sensing (for adjusting lights according to surrounding light conditions) and for mode sensing (Portrait or Landscape for automatic fliping of screen) When you are scrolling a list, the faster you move your finger the faster will be the movement of list....and it would be like you are playing with a wheel. Stay tuned...more to come....
I think this is just a begining of real digital age. We wil also see more innovations from other companies too..since this "iPhone" has triggred a new race for out of the box innovations.
