I used the medium sized letters on my SB3, the Touch is not that visible for me. VFD are superior on distances I think it must be angled just right too. Technically do a touchscreen manufacturer count in distance performance in the development ? People don't poke on their cell phones with a stick ? I will need my glasses on to see my Touch clearly ;) and a an dark background picture with not to much details in it . Are not some of the devs to young to see the problem (pun intended). But your usage changes a bit too, poking at the Touch is somehow designed to substitute for browsing truogh your pile of CD's. Soo I pass in front of it cue up some music and then sit down and listen, or change things when i pass by it, if I use it for background music doing other things. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe'Primare and Dynadio speakers (including a pair of Contour 4 ) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: SB3 + powered Fostex PM0.4 Miscellaneous use: Radio (with battery) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78217 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
