Despite the general skepticism in this thread, I believe that what iball describes as a usage scenario for an iPad or similar is indeed quite valid. I myself had considered in the past getting an N810 to use as a remote for my livingroom computer. I think that a touch screen would add an interesting spin to the interaction with a touch-naive OS, that including the on-screen keyboard...

But as iball suggests, this has to be tested first. Now, I wouldn't bother with the tiny screen of iP[od/hone], and the iPad is a couple of months away... In any case, for me the use as a remote terminal to my media PC does not justify the current price, I also have my reservations if the linear browsing model that iball describes fits my flow (while typing a post I often check words/facts/posts in parallel browser sessions, is that even possible with a single-tasking device?).

And just as an FYI, the iPhone OS SDK is open for both high-level (run loops) and low-level multi-threading (manual synchronization), so if someone wanted to create a Kitchen Sink for themselves, they could multi-task without jailbreaking. But what alot of work for something that Apple could make optional for the owner of the device. Maybe even let the owner decide what's multi-tasking friendly on a per app basis. I'm dreaming of course, because Apple hates me for my freedom.

...more magic needed perhaps, or are we the pixie dust crowd?
