I messed with it perhaps too much yesterday -- stayed up pretty late :).

What astonishes me is how fluid the interface is. The gesture language of flicks and pinches and jabs just really works. I keep expecting that I need to use my fingernail to try to pretend I'm using a stylus, but if I just jab with my big ole fingertip, it's way more accurate. When you're going between tabs in Safari, you flick around between them, and the ones out of your focus fade into focus as you slide them into view. It's a really subtle and great UI feedback.

At first I was stymied by the lack of setting a "home" for the map application. Then I realized how incredibly fucking fast it was to start from the USA level and get to my street, and once I did that, searches were relative to that. Wow.

The keyboard is not perfect, but it's impressive how good it is. I wouldn't want to take notes on this thing, but I would happily fuss around looking up shit on google all day long on it. And that's fine with me.

I managed to crash Safari once, and it just smoothly went back to the menu screen, and when I tapped on Safari again, it came right back up and reloaded the page. The next time I synced, it asked if it was OK to send an error report to Apple. Nice.

This shouldn't surprise me, but the built-in VPN support just worked.

It's just compulsively usable. The whole thing. The little flickable toggle buttons, the ability to just dig in by zooming in -- oh my god, it's the future, and it's only a wee bit taller than my current iPod.

I'm in Geek Love. Go get one, if you can. Now. I say this purely as a consumer who stood in line for two and a half hours -- so worth it.
