Ed if you use any of the newer sony laptops you will notice that they feature a launcher app that works with a scroll wheel built onto the front of the laptop. The interface is really quite intuitive. I'm sure they are just continuing the same launcher theme but now it runs off of the jog wheel on the side of the Clie.

Although I'm a huge Pocket PC nut, I really do envy the flexibility Sony has been given by Palm when it comes to Clie hardware design. I'm drooling over the 320x480 screen resolution!
