Women with long nails speak out against iPhone design Wed Jun 18, 2008 11:54PM EDT See Comments (270) Buzz up!on Yahoo! Most people either love or hate the iPhone's touch screen, and based on a report on the LA Times, women with long fingernails are among the haters. Why? Well, since the iPhone's touchscreen only responds to electrical charges emitted by your bare fingertips, women with long nails are left out in the cold. A woman interviewed for the article went so far as to suggest Apple was being misogynistic because it did not include a stylus for women and didn't consider womens' fingers and nails when designing the phone. Honestly, though, this same argument has come up against keyboards, touch screen monitors, and anything else that involves the use of your fingers, so should every gadget maker change the design of its products to accommodate users with long nails, or should people with long nails learn to work around this problem like they have in the past? I'd love to hear what Apple has to say about all this, but I doubt they'll ever address this particular design flaw. Personally, I'd rather have them focus on the real issues of the iPhone, like the lack of a video camera, extra storage, and better camera, but that's just me. Besides, there are styli out there that work with the iPhone just fine and are pretty affordable. This all reminded me of an iPhone reviewer who had a hard time using the iPhone due to her long nails, and in her frustration she said, "I guess people who use Apple products are too cool for fingernails." But are we? What do you think? http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/hughes/29052 remember the crazy singapore chick reviewing the ihpone? from http://www.dramasian.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31400&highlight=iphone+review and we made fun of her because she was saying how she should use the thumb instead of the nail? well i feel kinda stupid now, actually, i don't know what to say -.- two front page yahoo links that i found related to a former PA post lol -.- kinda small world zz
Woot, go XiaXue, lol they should make the Iphone be able to use for everyone, coz yer, people with nails are at an disadvantage!
nice, finally the world has a real problem worth solving. forget world hunger, poverty, war and suffering, some bitches have nails too long to use a motherfucking scroll wheel, someone had better find a solution to this now, before the world implodes.

there s no scroll whell on the iphone...but yes lets stop solving all pressing problems and go to fixing the iphone so femals with extra long nails can use the phone..yes yes..lets do that what a fuckin joke the iphone is to 1337 for a stylus
if this woman can do normal housechores with these, i'm sure she'll be able to find a way of using iphone... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-401245/Woman-claws-way-world-record.html
these women that complain are stupid to the fullest extent... obviously they don't deserve to be up-to-date with technology.....
i agree and anyway with rele long nails they won't be able to use a normal phone with a small keypad anyway so they've pretty much stopped their usage of a phone lol.
