So are bad experiences with: MS Windows, Apple OS X, Linux, zippers, popcorn and puppy dogs.

Not having an informed approach to any of the above can prove to be problematic for anybody.

When my sister got an iPod, there was no printed information with it. She did not understand why it could not do what all her other music players could do - just connect and then transfer music.

I bought a box of Milk Duds the other day and boy was I angry when all of that caramel got stuck in my teeth.

Back to the remote control talk.

For sh*ts and giggles I ported my stuff to the iPod touch. Nothing has been the same since the removal of the d-pad, but it works fine. Here's a screen shot:

Also, a D-pad plus a menu-key will appear to the left of the screen.
How about a second level of pull-out keyboard (i.e. a double-decker keyboard) comes out from beneath the keyboard adding a couple more rows of keys and a D-pad.

The FM transceiver can be switched to NFM in the 2m ham band -- good for phone and various data modes, but especially APRS. There's an SMB jack under one of the covers somewhere, so you can hook up an external antenna and maybe an amplifier.

(FWIW, ham transmitters, unlike transmitters for most (all?) other services, don't need to be certified with the FCC -- the only "proof" that this isn't it is the absence of support in the public datasheets. But maybe Nokia has commissioned a super-secret variant with extended range...)

Seriously, while I'm well aware of the practical issues preventing a future tablet from having interchangeable/optional radio modules, it would be incredibly awesome. Hams could have 2m, 1.25m, and/or 70cm cards, and non-hams could go for FRS/LPD433/PMR446 cards.

Drag and drop is much inferior, time consuming. I'm not as OCD as I was while younger. Or when I had more time to hand type everything in, either.

So either iTunes or Zune integration. I have both. The rest... have fun typing.
Uh... since when does anyone need to do any typing when dragging and dropping? wtf
