Musings of a Gotham City Geek
What is the sound of one blog clapping?
Ina Fried: Obviously, there's a lot of talk around the iPhone. When you look at the iPhone, what are the things that you say to the team, 'OK, this is an area we need to focus on'?
Ballmer: They've (Apple) done some nice work and they've got their own set of challenges. And we note both of those. Many people think they did a nice job with the gestures UI, you know, hats off to them. That doesn't mean it's perfect. But there is some stuff that they've done that's quite nice.
Ina Fried: So multitouch is something you can imagine seeing on mobile devices?
Ballmer: Multitouch is yet another issue. But I think the most important thing...I would say Apple has done a nice piece of work in the ability to gesture and have it mean something.
Ina Fried: What about full Web browsing? I mean, that seems to be the one feature of the iPhone that would also benefit business users.
Ballmer: It sure would.
