iPhone Yabber! :: ZiPhone, Apple iPhone News, Rumours & Downloads

In the vast, ever-expanding world of iPhone cases and films, it would be fair to say that 10% are merely decorative, 10% are solely protective, and the other 80% are designed to be some combination of the two. Until today, however, roughly zero cases have been designed to improve the iPhone’s core functionality, a number that increases to perhaps 3% if you count the few cases with integrated video stands. Griffin Technology’s ClearBoost ($35), therefore, is a major stand-out.

Just recently, a whole lot of complaints regarding the iPhones touchscreen not working have been made, read more below..

Apple was today monitoring the latest mini-crisis to hit its much-hyped iPhone after some users began reporting that the touchscreen did not work. Threads on several Apple forums including the company’s own have been devoted to the problem, which causes parts of the device’s screen to go ‘dead’ and stop responding to the touch of a finger.

Typically the dead spot is a strip about half an inch wide that runs the width of the iPhone’s screen as it is held vertically, users experiencing the problem said.

In one case, the strip ran across the Unlock button, which meant that the user was unable to answer the phone when it rang.

“On the main screen, I can’t hit the button for clock, calculator, notes of settings,” ‘Gwas’, a user of the Apple-dedicated site Mac Rumors, wrote. “For text messages, I can’t hit the send button. On the phone keypad I can’t hit the 7, 8, or 9 keys.”

Another complainant wrote: “Now like 1/4 of the screen starting from the bottom doesn’t work.”
