iis that the same thing that was posted earlier? a rumor?
Ill cry if thats true.
Here is info on relevant Apple patent: http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/0...tent-surfaces/
This one looks a little creepy
There is another illustraion to this patent here: http://www.unwiredview.com/2007/05/1...at-the-bottom/
This is a different concept. Looks better to me but both versions will probably appeal primarily to avid iPod users.
Those are very different illustrations. Either way, I think that this is nothing more than a rumor. A rotary dialing system? Even the thought of that seems insane. It's so old fashion that I wouldn't even begin to know how to work it. And there's no way it could be speedy.
I also find it very hard to believe that Apple would create such an innovative interface for their phone and then turn around and scrap it on the next release.
A patent doesn't really indicate anything. Employees are rewarded for filing patents regardless of product outcome.

The iphone is already small I personally wont want anything smaller than the iphone.
when this thing hit its going to send the apple stock through the roof![]()
That's one of the things that bugs me about the iPods. That shuttle wheel thingy annoys me.
