RE: Jet Townsend: IMHO, replacing physical buttons with a touch-screen
UI falls into the "just because we can, doesn't mean we should" bucket.
As an iPhone owner since the first day they came out (and I still own
& use the 1st gen), after seeing the Nokia Maemo - with the screen as
big as the iPhone screen _AND_ a nice QUERTY keyboard, I think that
might be the better route - in that it still allows you to have the
whole touch screen experience when you want, and a tactile keyboard
when you want as well.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion,
butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance
accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders,
give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new
problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight
efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
