...for you. (I know you meant this, but it's worth re-iterating: not all of us "power users" want to be hitting 1mm^2 targets with a tiny stylus so that we can run OpenOffice.org; some of us want pretty devices which are mass-market which Just Work[TM]).

But: As long as the platform is open and core technologies are borrowed from the desktop, nobody will prevent me and others to use them the way we want to. (At least that's what I hope will still be possible.)

Of course. And, with the increased openness of everything below the rich UI layer, this'll only increase in possibility, not diminish.
