[gui-talk] [Bulk] Re: FWd: iPhone, a Reality Check

[Joel Deutsch]

Albert,

if we need to turn it sideways? You mean the phone? Or are you referring to 
the portrait versus landscape presentation that they talk about in that 
promotional article? Because if that's what you mean, I gather they've got 
it covered. Portrait view means vertical, assuming  that the screen is 
oblong, of course, and "landscape" means a horizontal view of the same 
stuff. Just think vertical and horizontal. The terms are just borrowed from 
the proportions of photographs and paintings.

but anyway, I thought they said that you could change the screen from 
portrait to landscape and still have this system they describe work just the 
same for you. Didn't they say that?

There's a little device put in many appliances now that detects movement and
I know there's one in the I phone to change the display if the user needs to
turn it sideways.  This device may make our use of the touch screen more
stable than we think.  I'm holding my breath and hoping for the best.
Somebody with the money and technical skill needs to run not walk to the
nearest Apple store to buy this gadget and review it for us, grin.

I disagree.  I am glad for all the access possibilities that are offered.
Perhaps this is something true for most of us who once could see things
visually, but I for one hope such improvements continue.  It is a shame
JFW and WindowEyes cost more than most PCs nowadays in my humble opinion.
