Oh, I love the roundpad. It seems to have a clearer direction, compared to the ipod's wheel which seems to only be able to wander around aimlessly

PS: I don't think the ipod wheels can detect the position of your finger on the wheel? Most directional inputs have to be clicked to hit the 4 microswitches underneath the wheel. Also, all the software navigation in regards to the touchwheel invovles directional rotation, not an absolute position on the wheel..
