These same people were just overflowing with insightful commentary about how a touch-screen phone wouldn't work and how people wouldn't pay that much either. I think it's fair to assume that if Apple is going to release a piece of kit, they'll make sure it works. It might be as expensive as all get out, short some hardware and suffer arbitrary limitations. But have they even made a major usability mis-step in the last decade?
