"Anyone who has an iPhone, Android, or WebOS phone will tell you that web surfing on it is somewhat painful. Far less so than on the Treo 650 we had previously, but still no picnic. There’s all this pinching and swiping. It’s kludgey. Even the sites and apps designed for it entail fat-fingered misclicks and slow page loads."
I don't know if he owns an iPhone but he's wrong about web surfing. I often wish I could navigate on my desktop they way I do on the iPhone. Double tap to zoom is a killer app.
- ZeroGravitas 17y agoThe problems mentioned there 1. small click targets, and 2. slow page loads are instantly and trivially fixed by a big screen and faster hardware. I'll also note that despite the multi-touch hype I never use the pinch gesture while surfing the web on the iPhone, the auto-zoom double tap works in basically every situation.
