Assuming the navigation is intuitive. I've noticed that I hardly ever grab the stylist out of my Treo any more because in the amount of time it took me to grab it, I could have easily used the directional navigator to get what I wanted. I think with the bigger screen on the iPhone and with, what looks to be, a great way to navigate around the phone, that the multi-touch will become a standard interface in the future.

In all seriousness, I have great expectations and faith in Apples ability to have fully developed this technology. The "new" Apple would not put out a product that they were not satisfied with themselves, I hope. I just pray that I do not have to break out the old stylus. Will they even work!

In the early days of electronic music, when keyboard controllers were first employed they were monophonic. Moog & Arp (et al) use required multitracking for big projects. Next, came the addition of one extra note and we all went crazy over being able to play 2 notes at once. Later on came substantial polyphony (aw with the Seq Ckt Prophet 5) and chordal work became the norme (just plain expected) forevermore (cue: Casio and so forth). Also, I have been using a touchscreen smartphone (Sony Ericsson P910) for years. All other P800/P900 users I know had removed the supplied keypad and gone with virtual keyboard immediately upon purchase. I expect the IPhone multi-touch keyboard to be a subtle (in regard to user attention) yet enormously potent (creativety-wise) evolution in man-machine interface. Device operators can now jump from monophonic prehistoric chanters to polyphonic post-moderne complex orchestration. And a Caveman can do it!
