The mouse appeared with the popularity of the PC and was one of the reasons for any "simple person" can handle easily the computer back in 1995. Before he had to make it as difficult as typing "cd wordpress" on the keyboard to access a directory. Now, however, could double click on a folder.

This great revolution that eventually resulted in the peripheral (and just as my parents are about to understand the diferncia between a right click and left-click) is about to disappear and be replaced by the multitouch.

While Apple always stood out to offer its user interfaces (such as when he created the one-button mouse) was able to bring their screens millions of users with unprecedented multi-touchscreen phone: the iPhone.

The Touchscreen already existed

It hacienda memory, many years before the release of iPhone in 2007 and existed touch screens and the best known product was the Palm. PDAs never succeeded. Perhaps because they were imitating the click of a mouse but with a plastic pen tip pressure was put on the screen (the stylus). And as with a cursor, is only one place at one time.

I remember seeing pictures from the iPhone online and think "but who is going to touch the screen with your hands?". It seemed crazy. Is that for decades we have been accustomed to pushing buttons (like Desmond on Lost: "Push the button!"). Cell phones were all with numeric keypad and some offered full QWERTY keyboard (and minutely useless).

So ... how to break the old paradigm of push buttons to dial a phone number? At that time there was a Palm touchscreen model that was also mobile phone and had very few sales. What is the difference besides that the iPhone was much more fashion?

The difference is the Multitouch. And the technology that brought.

Without going into too much detail I will try to explain the difference between the multitouch system introduced by Apple with its iPhone and the touchscreen system "classic" (which are more like a click). The multitouch screen is a continuous flow of electricity over the entire viewing surface where a finger to stop posing. And that disruption is reflected in the device as a "touch." Has the ability to interrupt that flow curtain simultaneously (using several fingers at once) achieving the multitouch. Requires no pressure on the screen. I REPEAT: no need to put pressure on the screen:. This new system did away with the use of pencils, plastic or other elements. With the fingers of the hand, so easy.

We must say q ue iPhone with multitouch was accompanied by an operating system for you. The best example to adopt this technology is to manipulate photos with your hands. When you open a photo with two fingers you zoom, is a completely natural experience. You do not have to click a magnifying glass, or a "plus sign" or type "200%". You move your thumb and forefinger. It is incredibly simple is intuitive. Skip to next picture dragging a finger or zoom back to the original with a "double tap (two touch row). Same for handling maps, drawing or playing the Field Runner.

Once you start using the multitouch and no turning back. You do not want to use more of the mouse. I find this ridiculous, outdated, past. Why move a plastic gizmo when you can touch the screen to select what I want?.

Adios to the mouse, throw it away.

Some quick tips for longer life battery for your iPhone.

After reading the post by Javier Martin on the use that gives your iPhone, I decided to make this short post with some tips that may prove useful for both humans now rely on our mobile phones.

While they are targeted to the iPhone, most can be applied to all smartphones (or should I say Superphone ?) that from this new era of touchscreen, connectivity and GPS for 24 hours has become a new challenge of its energy conservation .

Tips to live longer your mobile phone

• Lower the brightness of the screen (I have it 25% and I see great).
• GPS Location Off when not in use (discussed in Android-consuming).
• Turn off bluetooth.
• Auto Lock screen than a minute.
• Use only the Notifications (Push) required. Can be configured per application.
• Time automatic check mail in 30 minutes (depending on your needs).

Activities that consume more battery include being on the phone and addictive games (such as Fieldrunner ) that cause us to be for more than an hour continuously with the display on . Do not forget your camera (more if your phone has flash!) Or film.

As the battery life of the iPhone has a limit on the total number of refills, we recommend plugging when the load is 10% (or less) and leave loading to complete.

I hope these recommendations will be helpful until you leave the new iPhone 4.0 ("in April 2010?) Rumored to have removable battery, and its duration will be higher.
