I haven't gotten my hands on one yet. So the verdict is still out. :) The touch display on the iPhone and iPod touch looks amazing. I haven’t gotten my hands on one yet. So the verdict is still out.

Case in point: the BlackBerry 8800, Pearl, and Curve. Although not as large as the iPod wheel, the BB trackball is really sensitive. If you're a big BB user (and somewhat heavy-handed) I've seen the 880 eventually go haywire; the cursor jumps all over the place when you touch it. The older BB's like the 8700 series have the trackwheel on the side of the device and are much more reliable. Perhaps Apple will adopt a more sturdy design like that.

I would have to say my bluetooth headset is the worst thing I have ever had to use. I love that there is no way for me to tell how much battery life is left, and the "simple two button layout" simply sucks. Can't wait to get my finger on one of the Touch Pods. Great Post.
