Iew, that's not cool.

They only talk about the iPhone 5, I wonder if it also exists in the current gen iPod Touch model. I don't have the one that my work assigned to me for testing today, I'll have to test it when I get home to see if I can replicate the issue on it.

Thank goodness. I'm tired of people ignoring their children on the train as they wreak havoc, in lieu of looking like an idiot playing games like fruit ninja. Thank you Apple!

Too many...
Ahh, yes. I remember this problem on a few android phones, and the fandroids dismissed the issue. Now that it's on the iPhone, they are up in arms like a bunch of crazies!!!!!! I can't help but laugh a bit.

Well technically, it ain't really funny. Someone tried telling me that Apple purposefully designed iOS 6 to do this for some reason I can't quite recall. But it's not true. My iPhone 4 doesn't do it with iOS 6.0.1. It's quite perfect, actually. Not cool at all, especially if it's hardware related.

Well, I tried to replicate it in Safari and Contacts on the just released iPod Touch I'm evaluating at work (since the article noted that it happened in Safari as well).

I was NOT able to reproduce the demonstrated issue in Safari (I will still need to try it some more, but so far I can't make it stop responding properly)

I WAS able to reproduce the demonstrated issue in Contacts very consistently, actually even more so then what was demonstrated in the video.
