In the 30th installment of The Smartphones Show Steve tackles the Nokia N77, a gathering of minds known as the "Future Technologies Conference," how to power your power hungry devices on the road and offers a lengthy rant as to why touch screen devices aren’t for him.

He does present a convincing argument and might have even made me a nonbeliever, but when Nokia does eventually release touch I want to view it with an open mind.

Personally I’m still waiting for people other than BlackBerry and Sony Ericsson to start using jogdials.

    I though you had some previous experience on touchscreens yourself which was the reason you were advocating them in the first place.

    Well, I should have known. Nobody, who has used them would say that they have no limitations and would be pining for them as the best optiom for UI input.

    Still some work to do on jogdials still, I see..:)
