We also note that the distinction between larger smartphones and tablets is also blurring, as evident by the use of the phablet moniker for the former. The overview we present in this chapter is a retrospective on the past decade of research, where most of the examples that we consider are associated with a specific device type. As a collection, however, the examples we cite along with our commentary may inform interaction design for and future research involving these emerging classes of devices that blur the boundaries between laptop and tablet or tablet and phone.
Does the Hand Anthropometric Dimension Influence Touch Interaction?

In this study, a device with a 3.5-inch touch screen was used for the experiment. In recent times, however, smartphone screens have become increasingly large in tandem with the increasing number of users of 5-in screens and larger. With the success of the Samsung Electronics Galaxy Note, the term “Phablet,” meaning a smartphone with a 5-in screen or larger, was coined [4]. As smartphone screens become larger, users have begun using both hands to operate their phones [14]. In this case, holding the phone with the left hand, while using the right index finger for the selection of touch buttons, is the most common approach. Taking into account these new developments, further studies must be conducted. Specifically, they should focus on touch interaction on devices with 5-in screens or larger, using the right index finger, or using both hands for the interaction with the touch screen. Owing to the large divergence of the index finger’s length and breadth among users, the impact on the touch interaction process is expected to be significant.
