Thinking about this a bit, drop the stylus and include a slide out (from 
underneath) a qwerty keyboard.

I have MANY MANY devices with a stylus including a FUJITSU U50XN and the 
stylus at best is a specific tool for a specific job.

Most users, most of the time, will spend thumb typing email, urls, ssh 
sessions, chat, etc.

As well, the typical use case is not one that is ONLY keyboard, ONLY 
finger pointer, ONLY stylus.  The typical use case will probably lean 
toward a strong and well designed thumb keyboard with the ability to 
quickly make selections either using a finger or a stylus or a similarly 
pointed object.

As an example, everyone I know texts (this includes crusty old timers) 
and those that can afford it are getting blackberries specifically for 
that purpose.

I don't see ANYONE clamoring for a stylus centric interface.

Just my two pesos.
