ElectricSistaHood gives you the exclusive first look at the future of digital interfaces -- the new TouchDial that will be part of Apple's next iPhone model.
The TouchDial, seen here, is a revolutionary new interface that expands on Apple's legendary ClickWheel interface, giving you a tactile feel for operating a telephone that is beyond compare!
Note the round interface with 10 smaller round openings that allow for easy operation. This GlideAround motion allows your finger to simply glide around the center of the interface, giving your finger the sensation of flying. And the rugged StopGlide mechanism gives your finger a positive place to discontinue the glide-around motion.
Note that the TouchDial not only includes numbers, but letters as well, making it easier than ever to keep those SMS messages as short as possible. You'll never want to use an "T" or a "Y" in your messages again! (Note also that some letters are no longer represented -- you didn't really want to use a "Q" or a "Z" in your messages, did you?)
The TouchDial will be used on the Nano-sized iPhone, to be announced at some point between tomorrow and January 2012.
Also rumored is a voice-activated interface for the Shuffle-sized iPhone that will utilize a unique human-based system that is similar to the one used by Barney Fife when he calls "Sarah" at the "Phone Company" to connect him to another party on The Andy Griffith Show, to be trademarked under the name LadyOperator.
