I was discussing with a friend and mentor [Mike Sansone, a blog coach assisting me with my meager efforts at becoming a regular blogger] [and showing off my new iPhone] what I like about the iPhone and decided to look into whether one can [yet] create Typepad posts using the iPhone rather than hopping on one's laptop. I came across an excellent comment at the Passionate Users blog describing the User Interface ["UI"] which makes the use of the iPhone so pleasant. It's in the floppy dog ears.
The other point I made to Mike fits in with this observation of the fluidity of the UI: the packaging. Anyone receiving an Apple product, whether it be the MacBookPro, the Nano or the iPhone, receives a minimalist black box which to the touch feels almost glasslike. Touch a sheet or pad of paper and you can still feel some roughness but touch the paper or cardboard of an Apple product box and it's like touching glass, it's fluid, not rough. Not only visually stunning but tactilely pleasant.
