Apple's Iphone Fingernail Problem!

"LA Times - The IPhone fingernail problem"

According to LA Times, people of all genders with chunky fingers or women with long nails have real trouble typing on the IPhone. Problem is, the IPhone's touch screen responds to the electrical charge emitted by fingertips. And pretty though they may be, fingernails don't emit one. What do you think? Should Apple be re-design? Can people get around this? Should buyers go to another option?

	Apple should change the design of the IPhone to accommodate users with long nails.
	People with long nails should learn to work around this problem like they have in the past.
	Get the Pogo Stylus! It actually works with multi-touch displays Right choice
	People with chunky fingers or long nails should switch to a BlackBerry or a Treo.

Use the special Pogo stylus. I don't even get why they decided you have to use your finger. After all, it isn't the most accurate tool for touch screens.

I know tahat gonna be a probem and as apple modifyng the problem then we can say for the chunky fingers we can have convenience.

Work around it and use a pogo stylius. Its annoying but it'd work....

fluff_222 wrote 128 days ago

They should change the design, but in the meantime use a stylus. I doubt they will ever change it, unless HEAPS of people complain. Personally, i think they are a waste of money. Never buy a new line of products, they have to work out the kinks first

3rd one.
Apple shouldn't have to work around the problem, because it would cost too much for them.
Some people are too lazy and would complain to Apple, considering they can't get over the problem.
And, switching to another electronical device would cost hundreds of dollars.
So, the third one only costs 15, 20 dollars, and it works just fine.
I conclude, that the third one is the best solution, but I said that at the beginning.

stylus is obvious the most sensible method

lotrgranny wrote 146 days ago

I like long nails and I would have no opposition to using a stylist. I must admit I have never heard of this problem before, I think it is a riot! Sorry ladies. I did say I like long nails, well, not too long!

I think that if it is that big of a deal and you don wanna get another phone then get a stylus...nobody should have to accomodate jerks...with long nails...

fatboy301 wrote 149 days ago

i mean complain

fatboy301 wrote 149 days ago

Yet another stupid thing people have to complane about. iphone should not have to modify their phone for the small percentage of ignorant people that think long finger nails are attractive. Wake up your humans not animals.

rupikochan wrote 149 days ago

if the people having trouble with the iphone really like it, and they dont want another one, maybe the iphone people should redesign . . . . . . besides it might be better business for them
