I find myself double spacing while typing on my laptop and then wondering why there aren't any periods. Anyone else use their iPhone so much that they start treating everything like it should behave in the same manner?
Got a tip for us?

I had to laugh at myself the other day using my Navigon GPS. I was trying to flick the map view. It does have a touch screen but doesn't flick. 
I too find myself trying to bring over the iphone gestures to other technologies.
Good work apple!

I'm on a school computer and I find myself touching the screen on several occasions and nothing happens. Duh...LOL
Being a touchscreen developer, I raised my kids on touchscreen computers from the time they were one year old.
Yep, they would often tap on the normal monitors of school computers, out of habit.

Yes. I'm afraid my toaster will crash and I'll have to restore it.
Now if cars were only like that, you crash it and then put it in your garage and it restores to a new car!

I do that on my Macbook lol Maybe thats what steve wants us to do so when they release the MacTouch we will already be accustom to it

Hahaha I do the same thing!
I once tried double tapping to zoom in on the map
Did it the other day with a cashpoint!!
It had lovely full colour graphics and big colour buttons on the screen.................i just couldn't get them to work tho, i turned to a colleague and was about to say the machine is out of order when i twigged what i'd been doing!!

I actually find it iritating when other touch screen devices don't have the iPhone luke gestures. It's kustthat the iPhone gestures seem so natural so it's like why shouldn't they be on touch screen devices.

I know what you mean. I have noticed that the user interface of my GPS is VERY slow. I never noticed it before I got the iPhone.
embarassingly I was Reading a magazine a couple of weeks back and there was a small pic and I found myself trying to "pinch out" the pic to make it bigger!
My missus still hasn't stopped laughing as she caught me doing it
D'oh!!
(in my defence I was very tired)

I constantly find myself tapping my Tablet's screen, rather than using the pen...the screen isn't conductive so nothing happens. It's kind of embarrassing
Bwahaha that's terrible

I think this wins the thread right here. We all tend to simulate iPhone gestures on electronics but a MAGAZINE? Hahaha that's great. Sounds like something I'd do though.
As I said - in my defense I was tired! (I also use my iPhone a LOT)
BTW Nincompoop is my favourite word of all time. I grab every opportunity to use it - even if against myself.

I constantly finding myself touching things thinking something will happen and then realizing they aren't iPhones. People do it in my car a lot too, my nav isn't touchscreen.
