I Hate Pocket PC Alignment

Man, I am so glad you don’t have to do any bull **** screen alignments on iPhones. I hated doing that on my Pocket PC. In fact, my last Pocket PC had the issue like a lotta’ Pocket PCs had where the alignment would become out of place and you’d have to realign the screen every few days.

I’m so glad iPhones don’t gotta’ deal with that ****. With touch screens that use styluses, the alignment has to be done with the person using it. So, if you hand your Pocket PC to someone, they miss hitting tiny things on the screen (such as the keyboard or scrollbar) because they may hold the stylus different than you and at a different angle, so of course the alignment will be different.

I hated that. Or you’d be interacting with the screen and be missin’ ****. You’d ask yourself, “Is it the alignment or just me?”. At times, it’d just be the way you were holding the stylus.

Enter the iPhone. What, you think it was natural for them to create an input system using only your fingers? Na… nothing was done with your fingers. Every touch screen was created to be used with a pen-type object. The iPhone could have easily been one of those crappy things. But apparently their inspiration to create a “phone” was multi-touch screen input. So from the start, they planned on doing away with the stylus. Thank god.

I’m so amazed by the fact there is no alignment to be done for iPhones. That’s like never having to fill your car with gas. It’s like “How?”. That’s how an old school Pocket PC OG like me sees it.

I love knowing that where I place my finger is where the touch is going to be (“That’s what she said.”). I can pass the NeoCell over to my girl to look somethin’ up while cruisin’ and know she’ll be able to type with the keyboard without doin’ any kinda’ bull **** alignment.

Touch screen alignment is sorta’ like an ex-girlfriend with a major character flaw that you assumed all women had. Then you start datin’ a much nicer and prettier chick who doesn’t have that character flaw and you think “****, why did I put up with that for so many years?”.

Peace, J
