Leave my butttons alone!
Why is the world going crazy for touch screens all of the sudden? Why? Because the Iphone has one? Newsflash; touch screens kind of suck! For a device like the Iphone it makes some sense but for a DAP, none at all. Apple is the only ones who've managed to do it semi successfully job on implementing a touch screen device but for Digital Audio Player purposes, it sucks! I have an Iphone and forget about changing anything but the volume without pulling it out of your pocket. If you're moving about it's annoying as hell! If you're sitting sill somewhere, it's not so bad. Don't even think about scrolling through a track as it's almost impossible with any degree of accuracy and the most annoying thing about the Ipod Touch/ Iphone as a music player! Just because Mad Dog Steve Jobs has a phobia about buttons, doesn't mean there's anything wrong with them and the whole world has to jump the button ship and get on the touch screen band wagon. We've been making due with buttons for many many many years just fine.
Think of all the crappy touch screen devices out there right now and it's only getting worse with all the Iphone/ ipod touch imitators. Trying to imitate a technology that is still flawed (touch screen) and doing a worse job of it, is not going to get you anywhere.
So for the Microsoft Zune developers, a little advice; save tactile buttons! Stop following Mad Dog and do your own thing, lastly leave my Zune buttons alone!
