On August 1 2007, I published an article called "My Month with the iPhone" wherein I examined the iPhone's now well-known advantages and deficiencies and speculated extensively on where Apple was likely to take the phone, development-wise. Now that the new iPhone and the iPhone 2.0 software have been out for a few weeks, and there's been a whole new storm of praise and gripes raging, I thought it would be illuminating for me to re-visit my prognostications and take my lumps.

I don't have sweaty hands, but I've had hard time understanding why so many people seem to get excited by touchscreen technology in general nowadays? How much is it just a new cool looking toy to those who tend to get excited by fashionable new tech in general? Or are touchscreens really better in their usability than good keyboards and buttons?
You know, there might have been and may still be quite good usability reasons why in many (most?) cases people have preferred to use clear buttons and keyboards instead of (unclear?) touchscreens when controlling machines and technology.
