UIQ is heavily stylus dependent and there are no S60 touch screen devices at all. You lost me there. OTOH, I believe the next UIQ version is designed to address the stylus requirement problem. Looking forward to that.
See the W950i review at Mobile Review; its optimized for stylus input. Its getting there, but yes, needs a step up. THe next version of UIQ should address some parts of that.

Nokia has been playing with going touchsreen, yet nothing is coming yet to my knowledge.

What's the battery tech on this thing? So few cycles, but so much life. It's not your run of the mill cell. If my 680 got double the life, I would be willing to pay the price. Is it nuclear or something?
The Treo 680 gives you 1000 cycles, the iPhone 300-400. While I like the battery life of the iPhone, 300 cycles on a hard driven device means every day, means in 1 year I'll need a replacement -- I'll pass (for now).

Addition: I do have to wonder, if Apple could do this, and Nokia nearly similar with the N800, what the heck are everyone else doing. I think people would be glad to take the shorter battery longevity for a longer time between charges if it were done more often. But as things stand, we get nada for longer. Ah well.

I can not believe apple would release this product with no blut tooth dialing and no A2DP support. I guess Palm isnt the only company out there with their head up their arse.
But can't you just see Apple release BT headphone accessory with a software update for the iPhone (OTA of course). I doubt they want ot push wireless on folks all in one bunch (all data in one place, no wires to music - its a paradigm shift to do so). Nevertheless, Apple does know what they missed, and I am sure iPhone 2 will address some things and iPhone 3 will address some more (my guess is the former is nearly done and the latter is in the crux of its major development now).
