A few weeks ago, a colleague and I were talking about the iPhone and postulating about the catalyst to its touch-based approach. For starters, I think the company was considering adding phone functionality to to the iPod. With that in mind, I imagine that one day, Steve Jobs was browsing the web on his phone and became frustrated with the experience: small screens, super slow load times, improper page rendering (if pages even load at all), and painful navigation. He challenged a design team to improve the experience, and the first piece of the puzzle was to somehow increase the screen size without significantly increasing the phone size. With a bigger screen, more of a web page obviously would fit on the screen. But, what about scrolling and clicking on links and buttons? Those tasks can be awkward or inefficient when using a directional pad or some other type of control. But what if the screen became the input device? Well, the rest is history
