I agree with most of your email but especially this part. I found it increasingly hard to take part in the Touch beta testing and increasingly gained the impression that the whole thing was just a sop, that no-one was listening and that a small coterie of managers (or maybe just one strong personality), unfamiliar with the devices and maybe ui design in general were driving development, possibly via some small *heavily guided* focus groups. For me the state of the ui across all the devices is tiring and I am increasingly attracted to the clear, intelligently planned and simple interface of my friends Sonos system (not that this is an entirely a: satisfacorty ui)
