Uktube is really really good but it's not an ideal solution and only exists because Nokia seem incapable of getting flash playback to work properly. I suspect most people would like to be able to just play the vids in the browser directly.

Although even with working Flash Uktube will still have a very valuable use as a way to play Youtube movies on a slow mobile phone connection. And to download them to card of course.

I'm with you on that; the stylus is great for xournal and other apps requiring fine-grained control, but should never be required for OS or generic UI functionality.

I finger my tablet a lot, but am often annoyed by UI elements that make it harder than it should be.

One (hardware) idea for finger-friendliness is the bezel angle. If the N900 had a shallower angle (same depth) bezel around the screen, fingering the edges would be much easier.

The N900 having no bezel at all would be even better.
