Personally, I wouldn't mind having a touch screen of anything, including a Mac Book Touch Screen. I have a microwave oven that is all touch pannels or screen and so far I've had no problems getting it to work. I'm sure that once touch screens are accepted by the BVI community, computers will be smaller; iPhones will become the norm, and perhaps braille can be marketed in such a way that it can be adapted to touch screens. It's here to stay; don't anticipate anything better or more sophisticated to come in my lifetime. Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.

Actually, I'd hope they would, and make it accessible. I'm sorry, but I'm not a part of this seeming 'blind' trend of hating touch screens and thinking / wishing they'll go away! lol! I want to see more, not less innovation, in both form factor and graceful / chic access solutions to use such.

Have a great day!…

Smiles,

Let's just hope Apple doesn't make an Iphone/Ipod touch like interface, that is touch screen and no keyboard.

That's true, for the time being. I think Apple may have to change their minds soon, if you look at netbook sales figures they are selling like crazy. If that keeps up for a few more months Apple might just reconsider--out of necessity, if nothing else. If this market stays strong, as it certainly seems it's going to, you can bet Apple will jump in and grab a piece of it.

Apple has made no decision to enter this market. Steve Jobs has said that if they do, it will be worth Apple's time and effort and will be a benefit to the consumer. Which means they might be neat, but the number that have sold does not justify the investment of resources.

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.
