He's a Commander of the British Empire, for Jobsake! So that would be more Stephen Hawking than some hipster Brit, at least!

@Vincent:

Why do you want to make Ive cry?

@Julia:

Never thought about the long nailed women, but the iPhone requires a finger because inanimate objects don't trigger it (if they did, it would cause all sorts of other problems). Knuckle typing would be terrible... Hmmm... An engineering problem to be sure...

You need to be able to use a fingernail to type letters in an email. Having to use the pad of your finger is very difficult to do with any speed, especially if you have any length in your fingernails (which thousands of us women and some men have). Otherwise, I love this gadget! But I cannot and will not buy one until this problem is corrected. Please listen Mr. Designer man!!!!!</p> I have been (impatiently) waiting for one aspect of the IPhone to be fixed so I can buy one.
