Apple has been granted a patent for a handheld device that recognizes your hand (Jeff)

By: Jeff Koester


Apple has been granted a patent for a handheld device that recognizes your hand. It uses many capacitive sensors that recognize the topography of your hands. Unlike Apple's other inventions, the patent for the handheld device has been granted. Apple comes up with many new features for their products, but most of them are not used or patented. It is suppose to be used for identifing the user and can even be used for gaming. I really don't think that the idea is nessesary because all it would do is increase the price on the all ready good handhelds like Apple has on the market (Ipod, Touch, and Ipad.)

"So how long until we start recognizing the iphone as a phone???"

This quote supports my reasoning for the patent being too much. Apple needs to keep the physical parts of their devices the same, but rethink about what they program on the inside of their devices. Stop making devices more complicated than they have to be. All in all, People in this world don't need new additions to their handheld devices, they need the upgrades programmed into their handheld devices.
