 Watching our friend and neighbor use an iPad: Each touch seems to also trigger some sidebar opening, accidentally locking the screen, Oh, now we're back on the desktop, please login to your iClo- *takes out a piece of graph paper pad* "Here, I'll just draw it for ya.." 5 comments
 @neauoire Remembering the last time I tried to use a current-gen ipad and was unable to figure out how to unlock it because there's like a secret swipe they added after I switched to iPad Also remembering back when Apple were the company that insisted on using a single mouse button because if there are two, the user would have to just *know* what the second one does, and what if no one explained it to them? @mcc there seems to be a lot multi-tasking things now, every other touch would snap the window to the left or right - I can't imagine how many people this must enrage right now @neauoire it only gets worse and worse. each update adds new gestures and it seems like nobody tests them all together. I accidently trigger quick notes all the time just because I dare to touch the bottom right part of my ipad |

I'm still so pissed that t-mobile doesn't have a simple TouchPad phone that does nothing but send and make calls for my dad. there's something by a third party called "jitterbug" but I'm not sure how to add a third party phone to a plan. but it's such an untapped market. my dad can't be the only old person with poor eyesight, shaky hands and easily confused by touch screens (even the TV remote overwhelms him)
