Looks like Apple is starting to enjoy patenting gadgets that have interfaces on their behinds.
First it was a laptop with a CD drive underneath it, and now it’s a new iPod patent that isn’t exactly the touch screen experience people were waiting for but at least delivers a true widescreen, which is something that iPod fans have always asked for.
This patent, as explained by Gizmodo, has a touch-sensitive back which allows you to interface with the front screen without touching it, thus eliminating some of the negative comments regarding the iPhone’s multi-touch-screen.
