The way he's using it, he looks like the kind of guy who double clicks links in web browsers.
I hate when people do that.

I believe he does not understand that pushing makes absoulutely no difference on registering a "finger tap click". The touch interface works by the distortion of electromagnetic fields above the surface of the screen. A hard or soft tap makes no difference in this sense. However having a shaky finger would make it difficult for the iPhone screen to register the position of your finger.
So morale of the story don't shake your finger at the iPhone.
Didn't anybody post that it's 4:13 or 4:14 into the video?Where is it in the video? I don't have enough patience to watch the whole thing.

I think it is a function of him wanting the camera to see the screen while he is touching it. Someone not worried about the camera seeing the screen would use the index finger, and would end up covering up the screen.
idk why .. but i acctually dont like the box so much ..
i'd prefer white one.. and i never liked the home screen pic.
when steve jobs showed the iPhone connected through iTunes at MacWorld
the iphone pic that he showed (the iphone with black screen, kindof like the ipod is tiday when you connect it to itunes) was much better than what they revealed today.. so it made me kinda dissappointed..
but anyway .. i still gonna get it!

I've worked in an area that had lots of touch screens that customers had to use. The ones that tapped harder had the most difficulties using them. I found there was more response the lighter you touched them. As I recall Steve J had a "graceful" touch during the keynote that worked well.
Good god I feel like I need to get my red pen out to correct the terrible spelling in your post.
not a personla attack, but a general one to all of you..
what the f*** is the planet coming to?
get a life guys...its a frickin BOX!!!!
i agree... man is the guy 10 years old? i won a fourth grade spelling bee and i wrote better than this guy.... come on man i'm 20 so i guess im close to your age, but we mac lovers are much more dignified than that youtube english..

If this screen is capacitance based, then his being nervous may be *why* he has to press so hard.
A lot of touch-based interfaces work based on the conductivity of your fingers. When your mood changes, especially in extreme stress, your conductivity changes. I know when I panic, I can't use a track pad, it doesn't register my movements. Could be the same thing.

Well which is it? 4:13 or 4:14? I don't have the patience to try them both!
This is a riot.
OMG a story about the box.
And 9 people (so far) rated negative.
Does that mean they don't like the box?

I suspect it's a matter of angling the device so it can be seen on camera and moderating the pressure applied to the unit so he doesn't drop it. Also, the person probably is a reporter and not a product demonstration specialist.
Jobs likely looks more natural by comparison in how he used the iPhone because a) he's better coached and b) he didn't have anyone looking over his shoulder while he used it. All eyes, as I recall, were on the projection screen vs. the iPhone display.
Wow! That is a nice box!
Ah, the box, at long last, the box! Be still my heart.
Have we all lost our marbles?
