Commenter Oflife on the Engadget report sums this up for me:

We have here two companies who have an appalling comprehension of human factors design. Compare any Yahoo service to Google or Apple. Also compare operating a Nokia 5800 or other phone to an LG or Apple. If these companies produce anything together, it isn't going to be pretty or usable. Or will they cancel each other out and produce a sensual prodigy?
