Well, yes, but I doubted you controlled your phone with your mouse.  And I bet 
the dial was about 7cm across (ours was).  And it was tactile.  There are many 
reasons dials work in the real world but don't on a computer screen.

I actually like the dial as a visual item, just not to interact with.  One 
possibility would be to make it drop down a slider when you click on it.
