We also expect new touchscreen video iPods, more phones and possibly even TVs in the future,” he added. “With regard to the iPhone, we expect Apple to have a full line of phones from $150 to $600 available for purchase at multiple retailers in several geographies within three years, just like it did for iPods.
I don’t know about you, but the idea of getting off the couch to control the television (how retro!) doesn’t appeal to me. Having played with a variety of touch screen remotes, I can also say they don’t appeal either — I prefer tactile feedback and the ability to control the set without looking at the remote.
However, I do see a general need for an improved touchscreen interface/experience and look forward to checking out Multi-touch on the iPhone, plus any (rumored) video iPod or Mac tablet that hit the market.
