Apple’s iPhone has been named “Invention of the Year” by TIME magazine. The mag admits the communications device has flaws (it’s too big, it’s locked to AT&T, it doesn’t have instant messaging, etc.) but says there are five reasons it’s the best thing invented this year:
° It’s gorgeous and well designed.
° Apple’s engineers used the touchscreen to innovate past the graphical user interface to create a whole new kind of interface, a tactile one that gives users the illusion of actually physically manipulating data with their hands.
° It will make other phones better.
° It’s a “genuine handheld, walk-around computer, the first device that really deserves the name.”
° It’s just the first of many innovative iPhones yet to come.
