Electronic shovels are all I want! Give me a brace and a crowbar compatible with it and I'm in haven.

Compatibility, btw, is in the root of this debate. If it were easy to load all iPhone apps in other devices it would be easier to see that it's more about marketing and fashion then functionality. It's the same old strategy of tying certain softwares to certain hardwares... Open source still has a long way to go (I hope shorter with the help from Nokia and other nicer companies.)

Ah but then there are those much important aspects such as accelerometer, multi-touch... Who can live without being able to zoom an image by pinching it? Pinching is what it's all about baby. If you can't pinch it, it's 'tard'! And who wants to change the volume pushing buttons when you can put the device on a table and spin it like a spinning top??
