Verizon introduced several cell phones today that incorporate an iPhone-like touch screen. I've written some not so great reviews of the latest Apple gadgets, mainly colored by my irrational hatred of Apple consumer electronic philosophy, but I did admit that the touch screen will be new standard for electronic appliance interfaces. Sharp is developing a touch screen that does not rely on pressure sensitivity, which will make a much more versatile interface, especially for scanning and security applications, but that technology is a couple years out for commercial products.
A few things that Apple haters will like with the new LG phones: real keyboard under the screen with buttons; 8 GB memory slot capacity which are easily swappable, actually giving infinite memory; no problems using the instant messenger of your choice; and you can change the damn battery yourself.
