QUOTE:I don't understand why a fascination with convenience and 'cool' features (touch screen)should be considered childish..
I also think the touch screen with DAP is childish. At least it have four meanings:
1, The technology is childish, that seems most of DAP have the touch screen, but not so sensitive especially when wore and teared.
2, The touch screen it'self is childish, which is easy to be hurted.
3, The users in some what are childish, for they are easy to be fool to pay the extra money of touch screen, and finally find out it is less useful.
4, the users will be childish when they break the touch screen accidently, they will think it is their own fault not the desinger's fault.------, I have broken two touch screen last year even if I was very carefull to use it!!!!---and to repair the touchscreen make me bankrupt,for the price is similar to a new player.
Some custers grow up now , so they said the touch screen is childish. yes, to me, if the player is perfect ,i can live with it without touch screen. My hobby to listen to my AMP3 now is random playing all the day inside my pocket, I don't want to scroll searching for the tracks. Because every track is so sweet via a capable player.
