The current displays all have a durable, transparent cover over them, and they still get scratches and finger prints from handling. If there is a cover, you are not touching the control (the screen underneath), but the cover over it - hence none-touch. It depends on if the patent is describing the control or the entire iPod. Who said it was revolutionary? And it could consitute a none-touch interface. What you're describing is far less revolutionary, and wouldn't really constitute a none-touch interface. When you press a button on a dead iPod, it does nothing, and it feels exactly the same as pressing a button on a working iPod - no tactile feedback. nothing that can be physically felt) to let you know that you pressed the button. But they didn't spring, or have a physical barrier that you push through, so there was no tactile feedback (i.e. They also showed things on the screen - that is visual feedback. The 3G iPod buttons gave an audio click - that is aural feedback. Feedback means a signal is sent back to the user to acknowledge the the pressing of the control. That would be like saying a piece of paper provides feedback if you touch it. Just touching it is not tactile feedback. This would constitute a tactile feedback, even if there is no click. You had to touch them to activate the buttons or drag your finger across the scroll wheel to use it. They most certainly did have physical feedback. It always either was a joint venture or an Intel tech developed in collaboration with Apple. I don't think I've ever heard that about LightPeak until this thread. The citation provided does not indicate Apple envisionned TB, only that they collaborated with Intel on the project, which might or might not be after the fact that Intel envisionned the tech and not Apple.Īgain, you state Apple basically came up with it, burden of proof lies on you for this. TB was envisioned by Apple and then handed off to Intel for development and implementation. What's amazing is how you haven't provided a citation to match your earlier post : Take hard note of the sentence: "Developed by Intel (under the code name Light Peak), and brought to market with technical collaboration from Apple." It's amazing how people who hang out at a site dedicated to Apple don't really know anything about Apple R&D.
