Maybe the already existing trio of keys up there could be used that way if you tap WHILE you're pressing one of them (not tappnig lets them behave as normal)?

The other thing that I keep wishing for is a scroll wheel. If there were an Intellimouse style scroll wheel on that vast and unused right side of the screen--that would be VERY convenient for those times when I'm reading down a web page, RSS feeds or eBooks (where I'd probably not have the stylus out anyway).
Not a scroll wheel for me; either a 1-d capacitive touch sensor (think touchpad, but 1d; or think iPod touch wheel, but unwound) or a group of buttons; say, wouldn't 4 buttons in a diamond over there be pretty dandy, either as alternate cursor keys (in a web browser, the d-pad could select links, and the 4-keys could scroll), or as auxiliary function buttons to perform... auxiliary functions, like jump, fire, etc.; wouldn't that be innovative?
