iPod Touch: 10 days later

A few gripes:

Arrow key gestures were really useful in the Palm GUI. Trying to fix text in the middle of a word or URL is maddening.
The search function in AppStore should remember the last thing I typed, not the last result I clicked.
A graphic equalizer in Music would be nice.
Map needs to be able to save/cache directions. Not all of us have 3G connections, and realistically there are places in Arizona where it wouldn't matter if you did. Offline is a reality for many of us. [edit: Map does cache directions and pictures for offline. I did not do my homework here.]
4x4 is not enough real estate for power users.
Lantern mode should be a feature, not a $.99 app.
The bug where all AppStore apps suddenly stop working until you're connected enough to delete and reinstall one of your AppStore apps: fucking fix it already. This is unacceptable.
Calculator: shit sandwich until it has scientific like OS X proper has. [edit: there are many fine free calculators I overlooked.]
