Apple’s iPhone has lots of cool features but the best of all is the “multi-touch display”. You touch to call, you touch to listen, see, read, navigate, zoom and everything! All works by the touch of your hand. This is just not the ordinary touch screen where you select something. You scroll and move pages vertically or horizontally by dragging your finger across the touch screen. The screen looks as though you are scrolling in iPod.
It gets better here, if you want to zoom, just put your thumb and index finger across the screen as if you are pinching the screen and move outwards or inwards. To position a part of the picture to the center, just point your finger to that place and drag to the center. You can also flip across albums by just moving your finger across the screen, this looks as though you are checking for an album from an album holder.
It gets even better here! The phone is not only touch sensitive at the screen but it’s so sensitive that if you turn the phone sideways, the images in the screen also turn so that the base of a picture is always parallel to the ground!!!
To view these work in real, check out this video.
