It's greatest selling point is that it's the only one.  However, I really don't think it's all that bad considering the screen real estate available.  There's even a way to view the message threading tree, though the presentation is a tad confusing (to me anyway).  I figured it was worth the few bucks to be able to read news while walking the dog or whatever.  Maybe now that the iPad is out, someone will make a better one.
