Touch screen toehnolcgy is here and has been here for some time now. I believe my phone came equipped with a touch screen and was releaes only 2 years prior to the iPhone. The internet speed is great (and two years older). Windows media player works fine while I type up some notes in Word or review some spreadsheets in Excel, or even connect with an infrared port of a projector to show off a Powerpoint presentation. Aside from a pretty interface, the phone has nothing.</p> You are right, Drew. Touch screen toehnolcgy is here and has been here for some time now.
