I can only agree with the disappointing readability of the Touch screen. I for one find the album art a gimmick and would far prefer to do away with that for a larger font I can read from 4m plus away. And why do I need to see three song titles at once ? My SB3 was perfectly adequate showing one

You want the Touch II that I asked for a year ago - where the display/touch screen is in your hand, but everything else is in a seperate unit connected to your audio system. Recharging via that unit or a standalone docking station... or just use iPeng! -- Phil Leigh You want to see the

Well, as Ikabob suggested I put an update on, I thought I would. Having had the device for over a month now, my views are largely unchanged, in that the viewing angle is too limited and the screen size is too small. It's interesting to read in other forums users discussing what they use to

You can fix the viewing angle by attaching something to the rear bar of the Touch. I put little stick-on rubber feet. As for the size of the screen, I personally would not want a screen that made the Touch any larger in physical size or more expensive. You know prior to devices like the Touch,

Having received my Touch this week I think it is good but not great. I think the size is wrong for what it is designed to be and maybe should be closer to that of the Sony Dash. I agree it is hard to read from a distance and will probably go back to my SB3 and put the Touch somewhere else. Also

Hi, Well I just got mine today, after the very LONG wait we've all had. I can only say that the display itself is a big big disappointment one two scores (I've only had the thing running for 20 minutes) 1. Size. The major visual difference of this unit is obviously, it's display. Full

I think it is too bad that you feel that strongly about those couple things. I , on the other hand, love the touch and the screen is adequate for my use. The functionality is superior and the angle is not a problem for me(the estblished angle keeps the center of rotation lower and therefore

I also realy like my touch , but luckily I also have a controller. The wieving angle and glare is a minus with the Touchs display even if the actual quality is much better than controller and radio (it does render colors correctly and has no pixelated artifacts), but no font makes it as visble

I recently bought the Touch, so far I am having a lot of fun and mainly using it as internetradio. A couple of questions: 1. Tracklistings are missing from a service like radiodavidbyrne. The track info do indeed appear in iTunes Radio - but not on the Touch. Why is that? 2. When using the Touch
