Apple's iPad May Gain an Intelligent Bezel in the Future
- cstross 17y agoThat makes no sense for a thin, hand-held tablet -- you need the wide bezel in order to grip the iPad (between thumb/fingers and palm) without your fingers touching the multi-touch screen area. On the iPhone/iPod touch you can cradle the device in one palm, but the iPad is physically too large for this. (Try holding a thin, magazine-sized hardcover if you want to see what I'm getting at: look where your fingers rest.) I'd peg this as useful, but only on a desktop or laptop device -- not on a handheld. (Those rumours of a multi-touch iMac, maybe ...)
