Monday Morning iPhone Coverage Roundup

It’s T-Minus 4 Days, and readers across the country will awaken to an old-fashioned Freak-Out over the iPhone. Here is an incomplete list of the major newspapers running with an iPhone story Monday morning:

• Los Angeles Times
  
• San Francisco Chronicle
  
• Detroit Free Press
  
• San Diego Union-Tribune
  
• Indianapolis Star
• Seattle Times (WITH FOUR SEPARATE ARTICLES!)

Obviously, mainstream media has gotten wind of the craze. What’s more clear is they really don’t get it. My personal favorite:

Jakob Nielsen, principal of the Nielsen Norman Group, a user research company, said the spacious screen and its multiple-touch interface should convince the industry that the larger screen and new input method can unlock a wealth of applications.
He expects to see many more touch-screen menus as manufacturers key in on the opportunities available through this type of interaction.
“We’ve been in that clumsy, obscure DOS age until now, but the iPhone takes us into the graphical interface age, like with the Mac and Windows,” Nielsen said. “Once you’ve experienced something good like this, you won’t accept something bad. It’d be like going back to DOS after using Windows.”

Yes, using the iPhone will be JUST like using Windows! At least I hope so, anyway.
