I see it as a VERY great tool if it had applications (apps). I have already gotten the factory to improve it by adding volume control to the scroll wheel and that firmware upgrade is coming very soon (I hope within a week).

However, I can also see where the scroll wheel can be used for other things like once the factory installs dictionary support.

Maybe we should have a contest for good ideas on possible uses that could be designed into the scroll wheel.

I see that wheel sitting there just begging to be fully utilized. It could be a feature neither Sony or Kindle has. I would like to make that scroll wheel into the greatest thing since the user-replaceable rechargeable battery.

Ideas? Suggestions?
I'll start by suggesting that it be used something in the manner of the 5-way control on the kindle.

Use the up/down to select a hyperlink and press it in to follow the link.

Simple, useful.
