A friend of mine got an iPhone

Yeah, it came like lightning in clear sky. Not that I'm jealous or something. No, I'm not! Especially when I saw the size of that thing! I mean seriously, this can NOT be called an "iPhone". Sure it's thin, surely it has a nice color touch screen and surely he's taking the eye of the whole crowd! I mean come on, it's not that big deal! He's had it for 4 days, and the touch screen already turned in one smudgy, dirty, covered with fat, piece of ugly art. Of course I cannot ignore that fact that hes incompetent, but I'm pretty sure that if I had one of these, the LCD would turn into the same thing, 20 days after I acquire it (20 because most of the times it'll remain in my pocket, unlike the other school mates who always play their silly games or listen to crappy music on their cell phones, which I'm forced to listen to). Still, I was talking about the size, it covers his hole ear and is 2/5 of his head size. That's unacceptable. They talk of simplicity and comfort. I don't see any comfort in that, do you? It's all about this stupid touch screen, that's the big deal, everything else is the same old technology used on every other newer digital phone! Well let me tell you, that touchscreen technology is now on my granny's computer! So it's NOT something that's discovered just now. It's all about controlling the LCD and giving it the ability to use powerful software, which Apple clearly have mastered, for that I give them my applause. Everything other than that, is already old. So it's not that hell of an invention. I'm sure they can do something better than that. Everything else is nothing... air... Share your thoughts with me.
P.S. Here's a video of a dude, who made a touch screen control system with a PIC18F452 microcontroller, to prove that even you can make yourself a touchscreen application.
