Touch Or No Touch?

A new smartphone has just been released where users can browse the web by hovering a finger above links rather than touching them. Sony is the creator of this and hopes to go on sale before the end of 2012. There are still a few issues and problems where people are deciding whether the phone will be practical and useful as well as being popular. Sony says the aim of the new smartphone is to allow users to answer calls, use the web, and flick through pictures etc without having to touch the actual phone but to use gestures instead. Will this prove beneficial? In my opinion it seems Sony has created this gadget to cause a huge buzz around the new creation. Whereas I don’t think it will prove to be any better than what a touch phone already is.
