Motorola to Consider Touch Screens, Wi-Fi for Future Phones
how shocking...
i'm sure soon most of the main producers will try to jump on the "let's just copy Apple" bandwagon.
or hopefully come out with some other ground-breaking technology...like, oh i dont know, making calls from wifi and making those calls unlimited, and somehow giving you full coverage.
oh wait, T-Mobile already did that! 😁
Motorola has been producing keypadless, touchscreen phones for years. And they are not the only one's either. If you actually hear or read the presentation, Motorola states thinking about introducing such devices in the US. Motorola actually had a touchscreen phone before color screens even came out with the Accompli A388. Then with the A760, A768, E680/E680i, A780 (which incorporated a keypad, but still mainly touchscreen), and E6. US carriers have been reluctant to launch these phone in the US. Cingular actually canceled the launch of the A780 in the US.
What Apple has been able to do is to get a US carrier to launch the phone.
i mean it's obvious now that someone finally took the risk to "adventure" the touchscreen in the US (and that it has blown up since then) that the rest of the big players are going to give it a shot as well.
What the iPhone was able to do is open the door for carrier acceptance of such technology in the US.
