When driving or laying down it is near impossible to zoom in while browsing or to scroll in Coverflow. Because iPhone's screen is pressure sensitive, wouldn't it be neat to be able to zoom or scroll by blowing on the screen. Simply put screen close to mouth and blow. Is this possible?
Got a tip for us?

Neat Idea For Controlling iPhone Without Fingers Or Stylus

He's right, you don't physically push down on the screen, you can gently tap it and it would still register that it was touched.
You want to blow your iPhone? Hehehe...
Joking aside, I don't see that as being all that great of an idea as you'd have to dedicate a lot of attention to the screen while blowing it... while driving that could be dangerous. Theoretically I guess it could work (think the smoke in Disco... when you blow the smoke moves)... anyhow, I imagine it would be really hard to control as well... and how would you reverse?

why not voice command
"zoom in"
yep. simple voice command would make 100000x more sense than this idiotic 'blowing on the iphone screen' method.
OP, are you even sure you've got an iPhone?? One iPhone is not pressure sensative, and does not have a stylus! And if you find zooming difficult, try the simple double-tap function.
Oh, and no offence, but blowing? Bad idea.

Actually, I believe the iPhone does have a heat sensitive screen, this is why only fingers or skin can control the screen, not a stylus or fingernail.
