Anyhow, while voice dialing would be nice, I don't see the point in voice dictation, though there is a voice recorder already on the N900, if I recall.

Dragon dictation on the iphone is quite good for typing sms, short notes and web search too. Its server based though, not native. But being Nuance you know its going to be good.
Works good when you are running down the road to the subway and have little time or inclination to type a web address etc (I have done this on more than one occassion)
Meh, to each his own, I just thought it was hilarious that he was using the comparison of having a cord on a phone because I had a stylus... uhm, a cord is a useless thing that gets in the way, and was only there before any wireless technology. A stylus has it's uses, even if you don't always have to use it, it's a nice added bonus.
I had a very similar conversation with one of Jobs' sheeps/customers, and like you I still don't see how having free choice to either use your fingers or stylus (heck, or whatever else is at hand at the moment) is inferiour to being forced into using your (clean, ungloved, hopefully slender) fingers alone.
I do! I've been searching with no real luck so far, only have 2 or 3 useful ones. Luckily all of my coursework and summaries are available in PDF, so it's much nicer than dragging books around
I would really kill for a Radiological Anatomy and Memorizer apps like the ones on the iPhone
Yeah, those are great and next to free. Also medical mneumonics, Merck manual, Oxford Handbooks, Netters (all of them), 10 min Diagnosis, LANGE series and many more but yeah we should save this for PM
I wonder if the 4 will have the same cool phone home feature as the 3GS. I'm gonna call T-Mobile tomorrow to see if they have a similar offering for my n900. If they do, I hope they don't charge extra for it, because it's free for the iPhone [crossing my fingers with my stylus].
@daperl: thanks for that phone home bits. I wouldn't be that surprised if the conspiracy theory behind it is true, since Jobs had a few defense/secret projects with the US gov't since the days Pixar was still making and selling graphic hardware. But I'd imagine AT&T would and should've been clued-in to this scheme and I wonder why those data appeared at all in so many customers' bills.
