For me, each has its place.

I'd hate to do precision work with my finger. Like using a drawing app, or things like that.

On the other hand, having to pull out a stylus for basic navigation is ... stupid.

The UI and device should be able to address both. The overall UI should be finger friendly, but the device should be usable with a stylus. I'm agnostic about whether it should have a stylus slot and actually ship with a stylus though.

What it should NOT have is one of those little rinky-dink telescoping styluses that you see on some phones and PDA-watches. Either give me an N810 type stylus, or none at all (and let me buy one of those pens that can you can switch between ink and stylus tips).
