The Touchscreen Divide
Do you prefer actual keys or have you adapted to the virtual way? Two entrepreneurs square off.
Can’t Live with It
I get really frustrated with touchscreens. I struggled when the iPhone first came out–I really love the apps and I really wanted the iPhone, but I really struggled because of the touchscreen. There are so many apps for real estate–the maps, showing clients photos of properties and being able to drag and zoom. For those apps, the touchscreen is awesome. But I can’t type on the touchscreen. If I’m using a friend’s iPhone and try to type an e-mail, it takes me five times as long. I’m a BlackBerry addict–I use a Blackberry Bold. I recently lost my BlackBerry, and again I struggled. But I still replaced it with another BlackBerry, because it doesn’t have a touchscreen.
