The coupling of a capacitive screen to a cellphone was bound to happen as mobile computing power increased, just as an operating system with a gui was bound to come along with the increase in computing power These companies are simply able to monopolize on them.

Think of the DRM capable on those bad boys, someone in the future is going to be a wicked visionary then. Though it is sad I think the hype is simply lost on me.
