I think Apple did a really great job innovating (or at least popularizing) the touch interface. There is some clever use of multi-finger gestures that really works - once you get to know them. But I find it similar to any other UX. You have to learn it to really enjoy it. The first time I had a program open on an iPad I had to ask a friend how to close the program - five finger crumple motion. And how to bring up the list of open programs - four finger swipe up from bottom. Great. Once you learn it. But I still don't see a vast chasm of improvement over blackberry UX. I suppose I'd have to watch people using the two devices. I'm sure others have studied this to death but I've never seen a well conducted UX contrast study available online.
