I ask to see the troll post above deleted on the basis that it is nothing but a
troll post.

Please.

"You mean after Apple showed the world how things could
work, everybody expects them to work the Apple way?"

You mean after Pierre Wellner showed Apple and the rest of
the world how things could work in 1991?

"Maybe people should get an education instead of reading
this blog."

Intellectually i know you're an ignorant troll with no
desire to back up your random mouth utterings but i still
can't help but point out that by not knowing this you show
that your education is so bad that you would have been
informed by Wikipedia (which is not considered an "educated"
source).

Your knowledge (or lack thereof) of the fields of CHI,
Ubicomp and TCI (all three of which are fields that have
some relationship to this apparantly "unique innovation" of
Apple's) is woefully inadequate and i'd hope that if you
educated yourself a little better instead of believing the
Cupertino hype machine, you'd recognise that
Apple's sole innovations are in the areas of polish and
marketing and i don't think you're allowed to patent either
of those things.

"M$ has at least done something unique, google, not so
much."

M$ has at least had the decency to not pretend they
reinvented the universe when they regurgitate the same has
been crap over and over again.

You mean things like 'tapping twice'? How about needing to double-click with a
mouse, ala windows-286?

Apple has brought devices to market that make use of "intuitive"
gestures, but they were hardly the ones who came up with that gesture.

This so begs the question: why did you...?

I'd note that if you want examples of a touch-screen interface, go watch the movie The Minority Report. Watch how the interface in the work console works. And then think about this: this movie pre-dates the first iPhone by 5 years. It was released in 2002, the first iPhone came out in 2007. So 5 years before the iPhone the very gestures Apple's trying to claim ownership of were already the obvious way to make a touch-screen interface work.
