...tested the Storm's clickable screen last week when I met with Mike Lazaridis, president and cofounder of Research In Motion (RIM), BlackBerry's maker, in New York City - and I was impressed. You can press the screen to confirm menu choices, launch Web pages and open applications, a novel feature you won't find in other phones. After selecting, say, which e-mail message you want to read, you can open it by gently pressing on the screen - it actually sinks into the casing as you press, with a satisfying "click." The screen functions just like a mouse click...

(The iPhone 3G does not let you type e-mails in horizontal mode.) The screen is about the same size and resolution as the iPhone, while the built-in camera is slightly better at 3.2 megapixels, vs. 2.0 megapixels on the iPhone. You can also record video - a feature strangely lacking on the iPhone...
...could no longer beg. As she told her character’s story, Smith bent over in her chair and raised her left hand to her face, letting her body tremble in pain. But, when a photograph of the real Henriette Mutigwarba appeared on a screen, it suddenly became clear that Anna Deveare Smith was an impersonator. The all-consuming pain that Mutigwarba must have felt was only imitated onstage; she was the only one who could truly experience her emotion. Smith thus revealed her position as a medium through which these people’s stories could be told...
