> And am generally disdainful of sacrifies made to physical controls in favour of virtual ones I agree with you with one single exception. I own a high-end blender that has a touch-screen and I think that's the one and only use-case that I have found where virtual controls win out by far. Not having the risk of food spilling into keys on a food-making device, and being able to wipe up spills quickly and easily with a dish cloth is a great application. Other than that, virtual controls can GTFO ... especially on general purpose computing devices.
