Apple’s iPhone’s multi-touch user interface (UI) is so easy-to-use that even a one year old can effectively use the device:

Apple ought to buy thes and use them raw in its advertising.
Yeah, those are cool videos. I wish I had video of my four year old son using MacPaint on the original Macintosh way back when. We were amazed that after only a few minutes, he could draw shapes, fill them with patterns, etc. At the time, that was almost unbelievable. Computers were just too complicated and hard to use for many people, let alone a four year old.
Goes to show how well Apple’s engineers can design and how much smarter kids are than people think.
Obviously my little fingers and newborn hand eye coordination makes me more suitable to use the iPhone than you fat fingered clumsy adults.
Of course I’ll need glasses at age 5 from staring at the small screen and type.
Another interpretation : Apple’s iPhone is so dumbed down even a one year old can use it.
See? It all depends on your perspective.
Try that on a zune. Balmer would use a chair instead if a finger.
Cute picture. The bald head, chubby cheeks, a little drool with a crooked grin. Ballmer?
That’s really cool. He just expects it to work like it should work, and it does. If it was a Windows Mobile device, he would have to understand the concept of menus and be able to read.
Jake, ease of use is the ultimate aim of interface design. If you can use something intuitively, without even thinking, you have no barrier to getting stuff done. Apple seems to “get it” better than anyone.
That baby is a frickin’ evil genius. That likes cheese.
TMF – That likes cheese. ???? English?
I suppose Zune Tang will come up with some assinine excuse how making this complicated somehow benfits the masses!
After viewing this video perhaps Microsoft will need to change their diaper!
What have I been saying? Apple makes toys. Proprietary toys.
Congratulations, Apple. You’ve made the first $600 teether with a glossy screen—which is about all it’s good for. A baby can gum a Motorola Q for $99, but who would want to do that to something as cool as the Q? It runs Windows Mobile.
Your potential. Our passion.™

No.
Wow, cool kid huh, Historical Event
This is great ….. I don’t own an iPhone yet ($$$$ is slim right now)… so I am still using a Samsung Blackjack (Windoze Muddled)…. I would bet that a 1 year old couldn’t even turn my Blackjack on or off…. let alone find the pictures folder.
There he goes again. It’s kinda said to see someone re-arrange the furniture on the Titanic so to speak.
That’s nothing, I’ve seen countless people using Microsoft os phones reduced to crying like babies.
UNACCEPTABLE!
The iphone in the video is NOT running the latest 1.1.1 update with itunes wifi store.
as far as i am concerned this is crap. if its not the latest and greatest then its not real. clearly fake video.
“That likes cheese. ???? English?”
(Cheese is a recurring theme, ron. Listen again.)
> I’ve seen countless people using Microsoft os phones reduced to crying like babies.
That’s awesome!
It was Einstein who said (and I might be parphrasing) that something should be as simple as possible and no simpler.
As opposed to the bofknobs (bunch of f***ing know-nothing bozos) at Microsoft who believe that things should be as complicated as possible and no simpler.
Einstein or Bofknobs? You decide.

I will take you serious for a moment
lol well done it is a toy, But if you want credibality you need to be a bit more acurate. i.e,
“which is about all it’s good for”
Do you not think it is good as web surfing, Music and Videos and a phone?
Really just answer for real.

Don’t do it. Slowly back away from the keyboard.
Ask the monkey to copy and paste, record video or send an MMS.
get with the programme, Apple.
