I find it amusing how everyone is saying how "revolutionary" multi-touch is. Yes, it is a wonderful mathod for interfacing, but it is hardly new. Also, using two fingers on such a tiny device is impracticle and slightly awkward for those so accustomed to one-handed usage of similar mobil devices...

However, I agree with carlo that microsoft making an attempt is a good thing; however, I have doubts that implementing it would make an "IPhone Killer", particularly after the Zune :)
