The iPhone is based on "multi-touch technology," which allows for the many interesting touch screen interface operations. While many manufacturers are working on this technology, Apple is the first to bring it to market. Operations such as the slider and "flick" scrolling are examples. What is "flick" scrolling, you ask? If you are in the phone mode, looking at a list of your contacts, just take your finger and "flick" up or down on the screen, and the contacts list scrolls up or down, at a speed determined by the thrust of your flick. Imagine watching a video slot machine in Vegas - it's that kinda thing. Another interesting use of the multi-touch is when you are viewing a web page or a photo. If you want to enlarge what you are looking at, take your thumb and forefinger and place them on the screen as if you are squeezing, and expand them. The image enlarges. Bring them back together (think "pinch"), and the image reduces. It is really cool, and a totally effective way to surf or navigate photos or Google maps, for example.

      Because Nokia doesn't want to be sued by Apple for copying their patented work, just like pinch to zoom.

                N97 has the same chip and processing power as the N81! It is not even as powerful as the N95 (from 2007!) and they add a high res screen. It will be a performance pig you watch
