I just reached out and touched the screen on my desktop computer at work. Nothing happened. That’s probably because it’s not a touchscreen!
Yesterday while typing something I hit the spacebar twice to enter a period. No period. Desktop machines aren’t programmed that way.
Both these actions work on my iPhone. My mind is telling me what new features it wants on the desktop. Is anyone listening other than me?
Same here! I recently got an iPad, and I love the touchscreen – I find myself wishing I could use the ‘swipe to enlarge’ feature on my regular laptop comuter.
That should be ‘computer’ – see? Too small!
I do the “hit the spacebar twice” thing on my laptop all the time!
And it’s not just computers – I’ve pointed the TV remote at the dog to get her to stop barking, too. Didn’t work.
I thought I was the only one who tried to mute the dog!
Does it work? My dog must be the wrong frequency.
Note the word -tried-
I’ve tried it with the grandkids – doesn’t work for them either!
I want to pause and rewind my radio. I can do it with my TV, why not radio? I know it already exists, not sure if it will ever catch on.
That sounds like something that would make some people happy or excited. However, many people forget that in the economic depression that we are deeply into, it might be a while before some will even be able to buy an iPhone, so it may not be high enough on the priority list to change. I know; I am living very close to the park bench being my permanent dwelling. Nevertheless, boys will be boys and the only things that change with their age, is the price of their toys, so keyboard change I guess, here I come!
I want to know why one machine doesn’t both wash and dry my laundry. I mean, both spin, right? It should just be a matter of adding/removing water during the wash cycle, and adding hot air during the dry cycle. Seems way more efficient (both cost and space effective) to do both operations in one appliance.
Deb, they have those out. Combo washer/dryer!!
Yeah, but they’re relatively rare – one would think it would be the standard arrangement.
Geoff, get the iPad 2. It’s great. I’m glad I finally broke down and got one!!
I do the hit the space bar twice on my qwerty keyboard I have for my phone all the time. I don’t have an iphone, but have a touch screen phone and love the touch screen!
If you use a Mac Lion comes out next month. It will incorporate many of those iOS features.
