"That familiarity runs into a hitch at unlock time, though. As with other devices, one starts by making a swipe gesture (upward, in this case) on the screen. But then one must tap a padlock icon to actually unlock the device. There is no explanation of why things were done this way, of course."
While in my pocket, my touch-screen Android can manage to press the power button (side mounted and protrudes ugh), and slight movement is enough to activate the swipe unlock screen (swipe ANY direction lolwtfbbq). Then it starts doing random things in my pocket of course. And THAT'S why you need a 2-step unlock touch screen ...
Another observation is that everyone wants to have a cash-cow marketplace now, like the new "Windows Marketplace OS", er I mean "Windows 8".

Because that would be a theft of valuable intellectual property. The entire world would collapse and billions would starve to death if innovative inventions like that were not protected from parasites and thieves. BTW, you ought to watch what you're saying - inciting a crime is also a crime
