I just don't see how Palm is going to be able to handle a lot of stylus-heavy legacy Garnet (and earlier) apps to Nova without being able to support native stylus support. Just think of the impossibly small onscreen buttons used by some older Palm OS apps & games that might not have ever been updated to be Treo-friendly. You'd go nuts trying to jap that with a fingertip....unless, of course, Palm sees to include a special capacitive stylus with the unit.
Bingo.
Some complain about the very existence of the stylus, but I think they're particularly useful on the smaller screens we've had up to this point.
It's great that this device may sport a larger screen, but it's not necessary that great if it won't be any wider than what we've got now. I don't want a (vertically) longer screen. I want a bigger screen.
High resolution + Big screen = Happy camper.
What good would it do me to have a loooonnger screen besides not having to scroll down quite as much? Most webpages are so long that I'd STILL have to scroll down, so it sounds like a very limited benefit.
So far, it seems I'd have preferred the so-called Roteo form factor to what's rumored, at this point. I hope the reality is better, though.
