Most people aren't power users. Keyboard commands vs mouse, GUI vs CLI, touchscreen vs buttons, it's all the same. With tactile feedback coming to touchscreens and their coming ubiquity, I think the touchscreen is the interface of the future.I was chatting the other day with Brad Burnham, with whom I'm on the board of Wesabe. He saw my iPhone, and asked if I'd ever had a Blackberry. No, I haven't. Brad said that he'd tried an iPhone, but soon switched back. "Everyone who's never had a Blackberry loves the iPhone," he said, "but if they've used the Blackberry, they're just like me. They try it, and then go back."
A strong endorsement for the Blackberry. Right?
Wrong. What it brought up in me was a powerful sense of deja vu, and the response of die-hard Lotus 1-2-3 users to the new graphical spreadsheet, Excel.
