I don't see why we couldn't have both: A 'small screen, finger optimized' UI (and no that is not Maemo in its current form) , and a regular KDE/Gnome/etc. 'desktop' UI.

The first could be for applications that you would typically use with your fingers, with a limited number of highly polished apps, such as mail, chat, browser, mediaplayer. The latter for easy portability with apps that you would typically use with a stylus and/or external keyboard.
