Heh. I have to agree...yes, people who have had iPods for a while adapt to it and learn how to control it properly (for the most part) but it requires very fine motor skills to rotate such a small amount to move one item up/down. The iPod is so popular that most people don't seem to remember how it felt to use one for the first time. The Zune Pad, which combines the single-item click of a d-pad and the sweeps of a wheel, is a far superior navigation method.
