- wooster 17y agoReally? Everyone I know who has used one says that bottom touch bar is a PITA. It keeps getting hit by accidental touches. Speaking of which, if you have a touch screen, why do you need that many hardware controls?
- lukifer 17y agoI'd much rather have a device with lots of hardware controls and a touchscreen, so that I can control the device without looking at it, or even taking it out of my pocket. That said, the bottom touch bar was an absolutely terrible idea; I don't know how that made it through dogfood testing. Closed vs. open aside, what makes Apple unique is that they would have scrapped such a design and started over. We can only guess how many design iterations it took to result in the iPad.
- orangecat 17y agoHuh, I like it. Especially the universal back button; it provides a much better flow than the iPhone where you have to go back to the home screen and relaunch the app you were in when you got a text message.

- dannyr 17y agoAre you referring to the UI? UI is a matter of personal taste. I have an Android phone (G1) and just recently bought an IPod Touch. I don't like the Touch's navigation. Sure, UI is beautiful but having an extra button would have definitely enhanced the navigation. Android may have overdone it with 5+ buttons but I'll take that over just 1.
- houseabsolute 17y ago> UI is a matter of personal taste. Like drug effectiveness, UI preference varies among individuals. But in the same way, it is no mere matter of personal taste.
