I don't want a smart-phone. I want something with a touchscreen and with a keyboard ( like the HTC Wizard/TyTN variations ). Admittedly, the touchscreen drives me nuts for dialing, but a proper configuration would help that quite a bit with voice-dialing and such. However, the benefits of being able to do just about everything else outweigh that.
However, it sounds like Apple's going the way people may prefer - lots of storage, hopefully enough internal memory to do something and not resort to "smart" application management, a decent browser that may even be somewhat up to date. Sounds like they may have a winner here.
Of course the big question is would I switch? I don't know. This is quite compelling, but I'd definitely need to have some support for my normal apps or variations thereof - FITALY, PocketBible (without still another format ala Palm/WM), and PocketInformant. The rest can sit in the background somewhat, but I use those apps a lot.
I will definitely keep an eye on this. Hopefully they'll have some hardware buttons to make this more useful as an overall device, but it's hard to tell with Apple.
