"This is a little hard to describe, but imagine holding a phone and putting your finger lightly on the 2 key, then sliding it down past the 6 and on around to the 8, and this causes a cursor on the screen to scroll down. Sliding your finger in the opposite direction makes the cursor move up. It's immediately intuitive, quick, easy to use, and, well, fun."
Brighthand's Ed Hardy takes the yet-to-be-released iPaq 610 for a spin and gives a quick overview of the device. If that Smart Touch wheel intrigues you as much as it does me the video, while blurry, gives you a rough idea of what it's all about.

AAARRRGH. MS has so screwed up the naming. S(s)martphones do not have touch screens...that's what makes them smartphones as opposed to Pocket PCs. I'm probably blaspheming, but what the heck is more professional about having a touch screen, and what is Standard about not having one. And Classic...oh.my gawd...it's Professional but doesn't have a phone???
