i think that the regular iphone is perfect in design but implementation needs work. if you listen to steve's speech he stated the reason why its superior is because the interface is all software upgradable. if everyone hates the regular keyboard and want sideways keyboard then iphone 1.1 will have it instead of paying 600 for another one
Did you even read the article? "Apple filed a patent application document that refers to a multifunctional handheld device with a circular touch pad control, similar to the Nano?s scroll wheel." They're speculating that it'll be more similar to a nano then an iphone..... you are even dumber...
