I agree. With the form factor: you either have reasonably sized content that requires abbreviated design and lots of interaction, or heavily packed content that's hard to see and easy to fat-finger.
And regarding touch input: there's no physical feedback. Touchscreens are inferior to buttons you can feel the edges of, or keys you can push and hear as they click. Most of the older people in my life still struggle with touch inputs.
Smartphones are so convenient and versatile, though. I can't imagine any kind of device replacing them.

We're cramming features into these things that doesn't need to be there, and it's a pain to remove them. That's what make them so confusing.

That's why I like my single-use devices (like my kitchen timer), because they tend to do that one things well. The iPod classic was great in that regard.
