Microsoft Shift

Filed in archive Mobile by Mark Rollins on May 17, 2007

With all the touchscreen fanaticism that occurred over the Apple iPhone, it is no surprise that Microsoft has come out with a product that is very touchy-feely.

Microsoft's Shift (working title) is like a GPS/Mapquest links

device that only requires a finger interface. It is designed so the user puts his/her finger or thumb down on one location, then lifts his/her digit to select the next target.

I guess user-friendly doesn't get any simpler than that. Of course, it might be difficult to use this on a tiny PDA or cellphone screen. Some ideas sound good, but the actual development reveals all kinds of complications. Let's see if that happens with the Shift.
