I'm sorta with you here ... The new OS is more finger friendly, but not enough. Basic system navigation is larger and easier to deal with just with fingers, but once you are in an application, it's back to the very small stylus required UI. There must be a way to get this to be easier... not sure I want a widget per se, but a better tap and hold menu perhaps. This is actually something I've been thinking about a lot with the N810 as there's a considerable amount of emphasis it seems to move away from the stylus with the keyboard, yet you need the stylus to do things which _could_ be easier. My thought is that you should see a finger menu (or whatever the on screen requirements are) or a stylus menu in the same manner that pops the right keyboard based on your usage. Hopefully developers will realize that there's a great deal of potential here and make new applications for 2008 more finger friendly...
