That is one U G L Y UI. To follow your logic the iPhone does not DO
anything more than the current phones can do. What Apple has done is
integrated all that it CAN do unto a really usable device. Apple has
the panache to make devices (Hardware + Software) that it wants, if you
do not like what they offer, do not buy their products. If on the other
hand if you find value in the products they make, then by all means buy
away. The iPhone is not the end-all-be-all of a hand held device nor is
it intended to be a replacement to the Newton. The Newton is a dead
product, it can be debated if it should have been killed or not but it
is dead.
At this point the iPhone is just hype, until it actually hits the market
it is all speculation.
