That is kind of what I felt they did with the first generation of the Zune, purchasing Toshiba's hardware and slapping a logo on it. Once Microsoft took control of the hardware, they gave us a really cool and sleek device. And no matter how much people make fun of the touch pad on it, they developed a way to solve a age old problem in a very attractive manner. They turned navigation into something could be sudo touch-based without spending and arm and a leg on an attractive touch based display for the Zune.

Oh, now that I think about it. I would really like to see that same touch technology make its way into the the Windows Mobile Standard lineup of handsets. That would be awesome

I cannot imagine a more painful experience. It took me hours to do my taxes on a full blown PC with a big screen and full size keyboard/mouse.
