Howdy. Typing this from an iphone at the apple store. I’m going to get one this September when my contract is up

awesome!
Hey, the iphone doesn’t have a multi-leveled pressure sensitive touch-screen does it? like– lightpress, mediumpress, hardpress?

Nope. But they’ll probably be a ton of cool hardware improvements for the next gen iPhone that is rumored to be released early summer. However, I doubt that something the form factor of a iPhone would benefit from a multilevel pressure sensitive screen. In fact, it currently works by capacitance instead of pressure so if that feature were to be implemented, another sensitivity layer would have to be added, but who knows? Also, rumors have it that Apple is buying up a ton of 10″ screens (possibly for a TouchPad or something running the full version of OS X Snow Leopard)
