The Apple magic mouse is good use of touch tech on a gadget surface. And if rumors are to be believed the same is on its way to the iPhone 4G. Goldman Sachs analyst Robert Chen expects the iPhone 4G to have a touch-sensitive body like the Apple magic mouse. This would allow users to make gestures on the iPhone body instead of the touchscreen to control the device. This excites me for one simple reason that my fingers take up much of the beautiful 3.5″ iPhone screen when playing games. And such a technology would make it possible to keep the hands-off the display.
With the annual refresh date for the iPhone coming nearer the intensity of rumors are increasing. Over the past few weeks, we have heard almost everything ranging from Apple tablets loaded with a projector to multicore processor on an Apple hand-held. As wild as the rumors can get, its always good to have a reality check: the rd gen 3GS still lacks a multitasking & a good camera with flash.
