- ricardobeat 15y agoThe original iPod touch and iPhone came out in 2007, were in the making for a bunch of years, while the JooJoo was only starting as a concept in 2008.
- Terretta 15y agoI think his point is the original JooJoo design, which he provides, looked a lot less like the iPad.
- blhack 15y agoBut it fulfills most of the things apple is claiming that Samsung infringed upon except the color black.
- webjprgm 15y agoNo, it also looks like the border is slightly raised more like the Kindle. This is the form factor that I would have thought of naturally, before seeing the iPad, since it's similar to the designs that existed for computers at the time. Compare it to previous tablets/slates, laptops, Palm pilots, Newton. Most of them have some kind of raised plastic border (and often not black but some shade of gray).
- freehunter 15y agoProblem is, the iPad was designed for finger input. Raises bezels would mean you can't touch a segment of the edge of the screen without pressing hard enough to force your finger into that triangle. Any designer working with finger input would recognize that and design a screen flush with the bezel. With previous devices, they were generally designed with a stylus in mind (Palm, Newton, slates, etc). A flush bezel, while not required, is a no-brainer when you think about it.
- Terretta 15y ago> "... is a no-brainer when you think about it." Then it's not really a no brainer, is it? :)
- Terretta 15y agoBesides the sibling comment point here, its power button is placed for the right thumb in landscape mode. The icon on it tells you which way is "up".
