after using the touch screens for some time now, I really cant say I think they are better. And the comments, the sound, output and quality of output is more important, I agree. This looks to be a simple navigation arena in the Audya, and I like that, the less complicated the better, after all we want to play, not be stuck in some page 27 on the screen trying to change a voice. So I will be more interested in looking further at the screen and the layouts as time moves along. Right now just hoping that the end price is relevant to the world global crisis, otherwise this could all be for nothing. If its priced at around T3 Aus $5k then its a winner if its $7k Aus, then I would be worried, but it shure looks and sounds great so far.
