well, I truely think the keyboard will still exist we will have to add it in.
Voice recognition will improve as well as touch.
And it will be good and fast if I ever set that up.
in fact when I get my own 7 unit I may see how far that goes.
I don't care for 8 interface but if the recognition is good enough
maybe I won't need it for my use at least.

Hi Thomas,
Yeah, maybe I did give up. But like I said. That's because I don't
believe it is practical to have to sit with a phone spending five
minutes trying to access something when you could access the same
thing on, say Simbian or XP in a matter of seconds. And if touch
screen is the way forward, then I don't know what I'll be doing with
computers because it'd be even worse. I couldn't imagine me having
to be slow on a computer. That'd drive me insane and make me feel very small.
Regards,
Damien.

Hi Damien,
Well, unfortunately as I said in my prior post touchscreen devices
are becoming more common. Not just on smart phones and tablet PCs
but the next generation of Windows laptops and desktops will begin
shipping with touchscreens as well.
The way Windows 8 is designed instead of a start menu we now have a
start screen with icons tiled across the screen in rows and columns
like a table. Perfect for a touchscreen, or mouse but a pain in the
rear if you try to get to those icons using a keyboard or buttons
on a smart phone. However, love it or hate it I think touchscreen
technology is here to stay.
As for Apple's iPhone I personally don't think it is too bad. Yes,
there is a learning curve involved, but like everything in life
practice makes perfect. I understand your frustration, but I also
sense perhaps you just gave up rather than sticking with it. A lot
of us who have used iPhones just stuck with it until we figured it
out. Rather than getting frustrated and throwing in the towel we
practiced at it until we got good at using the phone.
Cheers!

Hi Karl,
I've heard a lot of good things about it, hence the reason I
thought I'd give it a go. But as far as I'm concerned, it's
nothing but a strenuous tedious ballache. It took me over five
minutes to dial a phone number, and I didn't even know how to
access anything on it, so I dread to think what I'd be like with
gaming. It just seemed like a total waste of time and money. And
that's why now I wouldn't touch a touch screen device with a bargepole.
As for Nokia now choosing Windows, that actually seems better,
since there's a whole lot of games already out for Windows. Don't
know how accessible it'll be, I suppose it depends how good
current screenreaders support it. Though again if it's anything
like or complex than Vista, I think I'll give it a miss. Probably
just use it for phone calls and gaming.
Regards,
Damien.
