------------------------------------------------------------------- The iPod Touch and the iPhone are cool and sexy, but are rubbish if you want to play the next track when the player is in your pocket. Devices that have tactile controls have advantages which seem to be lost in the reviews of the next new bright shiny thing. --------------------------------------------------------------------
Often devices have a key lock activated, so you can't use it, too. I can use my iPod touch in my pocket. It works but a haptic feedback is better, of course. -------------------------------------------------------------------- %u2026or in the dark without disturbing your partner in bed at night%u2026 -------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a bad example because nearly every device makes light and can disturb your partner at night. Of course, there's a big hype on the iPhone and touchscreens but they have one big advantage: you save space for the keyboard, you can change the complete interface for each app and provide the necessary keys and buttons only. You can save weight and due to no keyboard there are no mechanical wear parts. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
