Once they've settled on a hardware design, I think that's true. A more featureful hardware design leads to a need to place those features in a useable manner. And, I don't think many people consider the N810 design to be a final version of that layout.

The reason the iPhone doesn't have to worry about that is: there's nothing to re-arrange into a better usability design. What are they gonna do, move the button around? :-)

The only things the iPhone and iTouch have to worry about, for future generations, is radios. The iPhone needs a 3G radio at some point, and the iTouch needs a Bluetooth radio (or to enable the one that some people think is already in there).
