whenever I read criticism of touch screens that involve gunking up the screen it makes me wonder if people have truly stopped washing their hands. I have owned a number of touchscreen phones and find that a day or two's worth of fingerprints rarely detracts from the ability to accurately see the information on the screen. If it does I lock the device, take one wipe with my shirt and unlock the device. I am sure at the end of my life when I add up all the 5 seconds twice every week it has taken me to do this, I might wonder what I could have done with that extra day or so.

Regardless.

This is pretty neat, but for most I can see this not being a real necessity over the 500. The touchscreen is "neat" but only adds some of the functionality that you would have with other devices. If you really wanted a touchscreen (and for the cost) you can jump on the iliad train and at least get a wacom screen that allows note taking.
