Mostly due to the slick input and resizing.
I think the point most 770, N8X0 owners have been trying to make on the tablets is you don't have to resize that much. I see the iPhone/iTouch commercials and they are zooming in/out all over the place. On my N810 I just use full screen mode and use the page as intended without and magnification. The resizing for the iPhone/iTouch was necessary for the size screen Apple decided to use. As your screen gets larger zooming in/out isn't necessary. Multi touch is ok but not the second coming of Christ.

I guess we'll see in June the apps that come out.
