Perhaps it would have been better if I had said "An iInterface is unusable for us because:"? After all, there are probably some who wish they had an unusable interface...

I'm not speaking for the NIT community, I'm speaking for the group of people who have not hacked a low-res multi-touch display into their NIT. There's probably a large amount of overlap between these groups, however.

The iPhone/iPod Touch are very different devices from the ITs, and re-implementing their interface would result in seriously poor usability; it would under-utilize the incredible resolution, and be awkward to get around in because some key gestures are not practically implementable.

You may notice that when I was discussing the eye-candy aspect, I said I don't want it -- because we don't all have the same preferences.
When I started talking about concrete facts which would make something unusable, I said we, because (AFAIK), we do all have the same hardware (in the respects I was discussing).

You seem to imply your tablet does not have an interface? I guess you must be in that awkward phase where the old screen has been removed, but you don't have the low-res multi-touch one hooked up yet? The ITs have an interface, just not one you're real happy with. But any interface? I'll bet I could make one you'd not be "all for".
There are some Nokia folks around who can probably answer this one better, but I seriously doubt that one post on a public forum suggesting whether "we" or "I" don't need no steenking paint program is the cause of this.

Tried tuxpaint yet? It's not precisely a "serious" program, but it does everything of MS paint, and lots more.


Not sure what you mean by starting a "pole". You mean a poll regarding whether we want the iPhone/iPod touch interface on our tablets, or regarding whether it is acceptable to use "we" when referring to issues regarding our common hardware platform? Either way, I think all users on the forums are able to create polls, so have at it. (Not sure, as I have yet to even start a thread, so far.)
