Sony Ericsson comments the (iPhone) touchscreen

There’s an article on BBC that includes comments made by Gilles Oriol, product marketing manager for Western Europe at SonyEricsson, on touchscreens. Of course, the article deal with an iPhone, and how it will be difficult for Apple to take market share from the established handset manufacturers like Nokia and Sony Ericsson.

As expected, Gilles hasn’t commented on rival products, but pointed out his doubts about the all-touchscreen devices. “Consumers are more willing to dial a number with the keyboard than they are to do it with a touchscreen,” he said. Furthermore he argued that touchscreens affect battery time, as they require that the screen remains on all the time. Interesting read. (via: Mad4MobilePhones)
