I also can't believe how phone like the iPhone have completely taken over, I have an iPod touch, as a business device these things are clunky in my opinion, I cannot see myself trying to use one, atleast there are a few companies making Android phones with sliding keyboards, but calendar and contacts is still an issue, I am not sure if there are any affordable desktop programs that will work with Android calendar and contacts.

That's a good observation how something so ridiculous as the devices apple creates succeed. They've managed to undo
years of progress in such a short time. Three years. We started out with QVGA screens and a pretty good interface. Now we have VGA, and now that larger resolution on the new Apple Phone 4, and it is wasted so badly. With less than a fifth the screen, we were able to do five times as much. And the sad part is that we let it influence culture and devices as we know it. Even our classy Windows Mobile 6 devices have toilet paper scrolling to some degree and inefficiency of the UI further developed. I can do almost anything a stylus can do with the edge of my thumb. This is why I like smaller buttons and normal scrolling.
Many of you still browse PPCGeeks on a desktop (I hope some do at least). Notice how the way to scroll a page taller than your monitor is to either use that little wheel on your mouse, or grab the slider on the side of the page (not that slider from WinMo...). There is very little (if any) toilet paper scrolling anywhere in Windows, and it is still a popular operating system. Apple completely took over the world as we knew it and dumbed down our devices to a pre 1980s level of stupidity with a 2010 level of processing power. Just makes you take a breath, step back, and say, "wow".
