Just to throw my .02 out there I did like the ability of multiple touch-points, and also the tilt-screen capability on the iphone 3g. (I am not a MAC fan.. and would only ever pick a mac if the options were MAC and Windows.)
I was geeking out with a friend who bought the latest iphone and he showed me the Monkey balls port where all he has to do is tilt the ipod and the monkey rolls down that way, etc.. it was really quite cool... and of course the Frets on Fire port.. these things would be nice to have on the tablets..
But as it's known I'm an avid Debian user on these tablets because it has (almost) completely replaced my laptop for me. Including compiling and software development. I go home; plug in a USB cable and immediate have a mouse, keyboard and external HDD to work on. I go to work; disconnect my USB cable and take my computer to work with me. It's really that simple.
The iPhone doesn't come close.. and because I use debian I
need
the stylus; Gnome/KDE3/XFCE/Enlightenment is not Finger Friendly at all; KDE4 could be because of the new Menu they use (as mentioned above) but I don't particularly like it.
If it were at all possible I'd want the multi-point touchscreen AND a stylus =-(.. but when I have to pick between the two I go stylus.. it's more functional - Games aren't what I bought the tablet for.. (even though I trumped all when I showed them Doom
)
