Yeah, we cant have people claim to be better than Apple, can we?

In other news, Apple claims to have the worlds greatest (fill in the blank), and we agree!

As opposed to pinching a picture to resize it? Tell me that's not a novelty.

This whole "touch" interface thing is too new to act as if anyone has it right.]]>May 1st 2008 7:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/gigabytes-gsmart-smart-touch-ui-shown-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/gigabytes-gsmart-smart-touch-ui-shown-on-video/
I don't consider it a novelty. Zooming in allows you to see detail; zooming out allows you to see the entire picture. Both the digital and analogue clock are going to show you the same time.

If this interface has an option for world clocks and you could swipe back and forth between local, Paris, New York, etc., *that* could be useful. But swiping to change what is essentially a display preference: Novelty.

So it's a nice skin (that tries badly to be an iPhone) built on top of Win-mobile, big woop.]]>May 1st 2008 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/gigabytes-gsmart-smart-touch-ui-shown-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/gigabytes-gsmart-smart-touch-ui-shown-on-video/May 1st 2008 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/gigabytes-gsmart-smart-touch-ui-shown-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/gigabytes-gsmart-smart-touch-ui-shown-on-video/May 1st 2008 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/gigabytes-gsmart-smart-touch-ui-shown-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/gigabytes-gsmart-smart-touch-ui-shown-on-video/
...how hard is it to focus?

(also, this whole demo is yawn-inspiring.) ]]>May 1st 2008 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/gigabytes-gsmart-smart-touch-ui-shown-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/gigabytes-gsmart-smart-touch-ui-shown-on-video/May 1st 2008 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/gigabytes-gsmart-smart-touch-ui-shown-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/gigabytes-gsmart-smart-touch-ui-shown-on-video/
Genius.

Has all the great features of windows mobile, e.g. the office apps (word excel etc. - all not on iPhone), connectivity (on windows mobile I can share music with my friends via bluetooth, I dont see the iPhone doing this) - Multimedia Messaging (NOT ON iPHONE) - Video recording (not on iPhone).

Plus has a great interface built ontop (iphone can't do this either, I can change my interface with skins/apps, can you iPhone users).

I have a question for you iPhone lovers:
Why are you paying so much money for a device which doesn't even do some of the most basic of tasks. Yes it looks great, but it does f*** all. I can understand it for a reasonable price(I may even buy it, if it was cheaper), but DAMN. How the hell can they charge so much for this device?

Anyway - that is my rant over with.]]>May 1st 2008 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/gigabytes-gsmart-smart-touch-ui-shown-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/gigabytes-gsmart-smart-touch-ui-shown-on-video/May 1st 2008 5:05PM
