So whether it will be Apple, Microsoft, or Open Source technology that will get us there... I really couldn't care less. Let's just make it happen!

Some of us still want buttons. We want the tactile feel of something solid for some uses, something that should not wear out as fast as touchscreens tend to.
Of course, smart cell phone manufacturers will enable a peripheral ecosystem around their devices. Slide-on game controller sleeves for example.

Er... you mean: 2001: A Space Odyssey
No need to be redundant. i.e. Automated Teller Machine (ATM) machine or, the biggest mortal sin of all, Windows Phone 7 phone.

What I kept seeing throughout the video was the device being slow. Watch it again if you don't believe me: She touches it, and it takes a good second or two to respond. That's SLOW. If that's the concept, I don't want to see what the real device is.
Also, the other thing is that the fonts were all too big, and it didn't seem practical at all - Take the 'rental car' scene for example: The two women stuck the two devices together to get more screen space. Erm... a pinch gesture and some scrolling should have taken care of that in about.. .5 seconds. But instead, you use someone else's device to get more space. *sigh*.
I dunno... I refuse to give up my keyboard, and I don't *want* a toy device. I want a full computer in the palm of my hand, and all that entails. who *cares* if it looks "cool" or blends in?
My projects: BackupMenu - OS Backup & restore | Video: Flashing your n900(LiveCD)
My devices: N770 + 8GB SD card soldered internally, N900 with 8GB SD card + Custom OC(125-950 typically).
OC freqs: 0:22,90 125:22,90 250:28,180 500:30,360 550:32,400 600:34,430 700:39,430 750:41,430 805:45,430 850:47,500 900:50,500 950:54,500 1000:58,500 1100:67,520 1150:71,520
