I love WM as much as anybody (I have 3 WM phones), but I would give anything to add some of the features of my 2nd gen ipod touch screen to my WM systems.......

Multitouch is cool especially for certain applications (e.g. a piano, but Omniano is still good enough without it!) but really nothing too groundbreaking. Double tapping and sidebar scrolling works great in Opera and besides, how are you supposed to multi-touch with one hand? I think it would look just a little silly having to manipulate a touch screen with both hands just to zoom.
From what I can tell, Wisbar is a task manager application that looks very similar to the free WKTask.

and a note about sensitivity - the iPhone/touch screen is very smooth and effortless to use, but most of the time I'd rather have the resistive screen that occasionally requires an extra tap compared to the hyper-resistive capacitive screen, on which I always find myself making accidental taps. Case in point, there is a disclaimer link at the bottom of the App Store that I always manage to hit when scrolling down. That pops up a new Safari window and closes out the store, because of course, it has no multitasking. Seriously, that's one of the biggest advantages of the Omnia over the Apples for me.
