I appreciate your enthusiasm, and although the iPhone will hold your
contacts and your appointments, there was nothing shown yesterday
that resembled a PDA. Maybe it is inside, but Steve did not show or
mention anything. At a width of less than 3 inches, writing on this
keyboard will probably be a big pain in the neck anyways.

The screen seems to be designed specifically for finger use. I am not
sure if a pen will work with it well or at all. What you can't see
(unless you watch the keynote), is the ease with which his fingers
glide over the touchscreen, scrolling the phone book like it is on a
rubber band.

Ah well, I guess we'll have to wait until June to give the final
verdict ;-)
