Trouble With Touchscreens?

Trouble With Touchscreens?

In a study coming from Reevoo.com, 226 mobile phones were subjected to evaluation based on a range of criteria from functionality to style by over 19,000 users. The study came up with a list of top ten popular phones and the ten least popular phones. Here’s a note: five out of the ten least popular phones had touch-screen devices and the problems around these models concentrated on that particular feature.

With the rise of touch-screen technology, many companies have indeed started manufacturing their own wide screened phones that do away with keypads. Instead, phones are navigated through the tip of one’s finger interacting with the screen. But the participants of the study showed substantial complaints on this supposed step of convenience when they said that most touch-screen phones aren’t pushing the right buttons for them.

While despite this clamor companies are still making more and more touch-screen phones, perhaps manufacturers should take heed to test their phones first and see if their products don’t experience the same glitches.
