I've had an android phone for months but just now decided to try pandora(figured since I have no 3g in my area it'd be useless). That is an awesome app but it's made even better by the fact that I can still do stuff with my phone while streaming music off the internet.

Well...three really. The middle wheel click relly comes in handy.

To be perfectly honest, I kind of like the thumbstick idea. Something like that would be really useful for gaming, as it combines the acuracy of movement with the thumbstick with aiming with the mouse. It could even be useful beyond gaming.

Nevertheless, the Droid, as well as some of the other sweet new phones coming out with Android, might actually start to poke a hole in the Apple balloon :)

@Nerfdude - "it's the same concept applied to a smaller device." Um... People touch-type on a typewriter or a computer so that they can look at the OUTPUT of the typing while they are doing it. The output of using a mobile device means that you are not looking at the device AT ALL, because the screen and keyboard are right next to each other. It's trivial to look at both, or at the very least to have one in fully...

i wonder if they could do that with tennis balls

The effort, you retard! But now that you mention it, when a girl says it's a good size ... it's a nice way of saying that it's small.

Ah, crap - just tape your mouse under your keyboard and you have a 100+ button mouse.
