Hi everybody. Benz145 and others are certainly on this issue, the design is part finger, part stylus currently.

For the OS2008 release, compared to OS2007, we added a lot of support for finger usability. Due to many reasons, not really design-related but mostly pragmatic, we couldn't go and change every application and every widget to be finger-usable. But then again, I personally think it's better to start somewhere and think in the long term. The alternative to the realization that we couldn't change everything at once would have been not to do anything.

However, I guess you can certainly interpret the first changes as the signal towards the developments that will continue in the future.
