Tao of finger-tapping the iPhone

So by now, we know where Ed Baig of USAToday stands on the iPhone, “iPhone isn’t perfect, but is worthy of the hype.”  According to Ed, you need to remember, “no stylus is provided, and your fingers control everything; you ‘tap,’ ‘flick’ and ‘pinch.’”

“Finger-tapping takes getting used to,” he writes. “Best advice: Start typing with one finger before graduating to two thumbs. You also have to learn to trust the device; an intelligent virtual keyboard auto-corrects mistakes on the fly and anticipates what you will type next to try to prevent you from making a mistake.”

Ed’s keen eye for detail had this to say about the iPhone’s touch screen and smudges, “though you’re frequently touching the display, I didn’t notice fingerprints when iPhone is on.”
