Interesting reads! As a Treo user myself, I found the Treo Central article very interesting. What I didn't see debated in any of these articles was one handed use. In the keynote, everything he demoed required two hands . . Or one hand and one finger . . The Treo rocks when it comes to one handed use! I am hoping that Jobs has thought of this and has a plan or work around. If not, this is suddenly an entertainment device first, and a phone 2nd. What I need is a phone first, a PDA second, and an entertainment device 3rd . . .
