hi this is adam lane with pocket now
calm and we're going to take a look at
the multi-touch features on the palm pre
to me multi-touch is kind of a gimmick
because you really have to use another
hand you're going to hold it one handed
out of user two more fingers from the
other hand and it's only really useful
and a handful of programs now maybe
three so say we're in the web browser
you can do this to zoom which is school
and all but again I'm using two hands if
I'm mobile I might be carrying something
else I might be having cup of coffee
while I'm walking it's you know not very
useful palm pre also sports double
tapping ism much easier
so let's also look at the pictures
not a program that supports multi-touch
and you can do that and that and that
can't really rotate them like that but
double tapping much easier with one hand
same in google maps you can zoom like
this it looks cool and all double
tapping is much easier I do that here we
go
so that's why I think multi-touch is not
terribly useful no single pressing that
if there's a zoom button down here that
would be much easier with one hand so I
only have to use one finger and I can
hold at the same time so there you go
