I have to say, the iPhone UI is absolutely fabulous. The navigation on the touch screen is really compelling. It makes things so simple. Particularly flipping through photos, or browsing through pages when they extend beyond the bottom of the page. The idea that to move something to the right, you sweep over the screen to the right with your finger, is unbelievable. Want to move it up? Sweep your finger up. In the short time that I have had the iPhone, I now find myself trying to use a similar finger gesture on the screen of my Macbook. Unfortunately, the Macbook doesn't have a touch screen or gestural commands. But if I were a betting man, I would bet that the next two significant product releases that Apple comes out with are 1) a touch screen iPod with the same gesture controls as the iPhone, and 2) a touch screen laptop that allows the same sort of browsing, etc. And I will be one of the first to buy the laptop. The iPhone experience is so good. And will absolutely translate to a bigger screen.
