2008 will be the year of touch screens. Why? iYear + 1, about the time it takes to copy an Apple product (remember the bondi blue iMac?). Touch screens and phones that pathetically attempt to play media will be the phones of 2008. All of the major phone manufacturers have announced plans to ship a touch-phone in 2008 but, quite frankly, it took two years to make the iPhone what it is, anything less will fall short in a serious way. The iPhone captivates because of how it thinks different, and does not stick to the status quo. Take, for instance, the keyboard. Pundits rushed to say that it would be hard to type on, but according to the iPhone typing test, I'm typing around 30 words per minute; and I type 60 on a laptop. Also, video cards in phones were still unheard of, and I think that's something that 2008's phone makers will not get, and the android phone won't get either.

60 words on a laptop is great, but you can leverage your speed with this: http://speedtest.10-fast-fingers.com
