a couple of apps (kagu and UKMP) already use inertial scrolling on the 770 and n800, so maybe someone can a plug in for the web browser.

Sigh. I had hoped they would tap into the Power VR hardware by now. Doesn't even have to be for 3D, just accelerate the interface so its smoother.

The Youtube performance on these very small, portable devices is finally acceptable given that context.

I personally think there is a major advantage to inertial scrolling. It reduces the amount of physical movement and interaction you need to do with the device. With non-inertial panning there is a 1-1 movement ratio, essentially: you need to move your hand the "same distance" that you want to move a web page. Throwing and catching is much nicer. It's rather obvious after you play with it for a while.
Then again, iPhone isn't the first device with this. Picsel browser had this in its browser already years ago, and it worked very nicely with it.

Imagine moving your scroll wheel on your mouse to view a website, and the scrolling just doesn't end until you have to stop it yourself.
If your mouse has a button on the wheel Firefox will do this....
