In a Nutshell How about a UI that doesn’t present you with all the complex features of the application just at once. Instead, it slowly adapts in that direction based on your usage pattern.

Wow I never thought I would spill water on my precious iPhone 4… until yesterday when I actually did the forbidden. Like most cell phone companies, Apple doesn’t cover any water damage to the phone.
