I'm currently making an ass of myself in the office recreating the motions that that guy has to go through with his hands to get the scroll wheel working. The finger motions to scroll, followed by the reach-around you have to do to press the button is tough to do. Imagine doing that when you have 500+ artists to go through on your phone. Also, the guy that mentioned being left handed has a valid point: you can only use this with your right hand. Using your left hand would require you to use the side of your thumb to scroll. Again, not fun when you have a huge music library.
The design is nice, and I think iriver is onto something with changing up the UI paradigm, but this doesn't quite cut it.

since it's a touch screen hopefully they will have scrolling by abc selection like the itouch or something of the sort
if i get the touchpro and it has bad video quality I will most likely pick this up when it makes it to cally in the u.s
