I do think that, before the NIT tries to be a true consumer generalized device, it's going to need to be as finger friendly as the iPhone. I think that's something that the iPhone got right. I don't think that means getting rid of the stylus completely (I don't like the finger based drawing things you can do on an iPhone -- I think that Jobs is wrong: for some things, you do want/need a higher precision pointer than your fat fingers), but when you look at "the interface as a whole", as opposed to "specialized applications", the entire interface needs to be comfortably usable with your fingers. It should only be the most precision point/drawing oriented applications that require a stylus.
