OK. I wont bother to mention fat fingers on tiny screens.... Though I wonder how many fat fingers you can get on a multi touch phone screen and still have enough room to make some useful gestures. Will probably end up like my last Japanese motorbike. My mechanic was a small man, but even he kept complaining that the only people that could work on it where small Japanese children with tiny hands. I can see that in the future, false fingernails will have to come with capacitive finger tip extensions so women can use their latest phone fashion accessory while wearing them. lol
