This amazing goodness is what makes my disappointment so intense -- putting a full desktop OS on a handheld, giving it a powerful processor, and then making the new hardware so difficult to use for desktop-style apps that some of us weep in frustration. Then, they put a zoomy big-button interface on it all and say that should fix things.
