You can say what you like about Apple and its servile treasures, like sheep devotees. You can criticize over hyping certain products, and you can lament the fact it is so secret. But you can not deny the fact that, on a regular basis, he managed to get out of high-end products.

The iPhone, for example, everyone may not be the cup of tea, but I do not know a single hard bitten hack who used the device, which has not fallen in love with his stepmother GUI designed and executed almost perfectly touch - Screen hardware.

Another indication of the popularity of a product is the number of companies and products to try to copy its main ideas and use them. And the iPhone appears that it’s going to have a very powerful influence here too: 2008 is set at the year of the touch screen and Samsung F700V is in the vanguard of products Apple is seeking to strike from his perch.

It is a product that has great potential. Not surprisingly it is very similar in size and shape to the iPhone - it is 17mm thick, but otherwise there is not too much in it. It seems pretty good too with its shiny, pinstriped front fascia and minimalist design. There’s just one button adorning the front of the phone - like the Apple device - while just three controls seated along the right side: the release of the three F700V megapixel camera, in both senses of volume and a switch rocker To lock and unlock the device.

The F700V is, as you have probably already guessed, a touch-screen device, and that you would probably expect to be of inferior quality to the iPhone, but the F700V has some important advantages hid his hermetically - Adapted race. The first of these is the vibration feedback. Each time you click a button on the F700V’s 3.2in screen 240 x 440, it responds with a calm and a beep slight buzz. It sounds trivial, but this feature contributes so much to the feel and usability of the interface that I wonder why other manufacturers have not done the same thing. It’s like having the best of both worlds - the flexibility and adaptability of a touchscreen, but with the feedback of physical buttons.
