You're wrong. Touchscreen only inputs suck, yes I've used iphone still prefer hard buttons as well. Touchscreens are great if you want custom size, custom icons/logos but for standard controls - navigation, transport controls & numericals hard buttons win hands down. But if you need lots of buttons on the touch screen - without annoyance of scrolling through pages you need a large one, things like iphone are useless. I'd say 7" minimum for touchscreen only remote. If you're used Crestrons things like iphone seem like a toy.
I hate scrolling or flipping around pages to get to what I want when I'm in that activity already, I want major buttons available. For example on my 850 remote DVD "activity" has the following buttons without flipping pages Volume +/-, Mute amp Eject, Audio, Angle, Subs, Skip/rev chapter, Menu, Title, Info, exit, Up, Down, Left Right & select, Play, pause & stop, Numericals DVD Aspect control TV 4 sound modes - av processor Lights Try doing that on a iphone, on one page, and being able to continue watch TV whilst using the touchscreen! Try using a touchscreen without looking at it :-) In a HT this is useful, although I understand for SB not so (for example always looking at the screen if using web browser for SB control) -- badbob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ badbob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7358 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58492 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
