I'll take games center 2.0 over playing "is that a manipulatable UI element, and if so do I tap, long-press, force press, or drag?"

no.

they fulfilled a contractual obligation with Motorola so that the device could connect to itunes and sync music since there was no plan for an iPhone whenever the contract was made. i don't think they had any say in the hardware design, nor would i guess that motorola would have accepted them doing it.

i find it interesting that stuff like this gets twisted and simplified by the sands of time

if they figured out a good way to do text entry the ipodphone probably would have been a good smartphone by the standards of the time
