I have to disagree with that one... 'Touch screens have no tactile feedback'

A well designed touch screen HAS tactile feedback... you touch it, you can feel that you have touched it. And then it works. There's WAY too much old school reaction to touch screens dating back to when they WEREN'T reliable. But, as with most things computer based, things have got MUCH better. I NEVER have to hit an area on the G70 screen twice, In fact, I don't have to look at all. As long as I hit the right area of the screen (and it is just as easy to hit the wrong button, if buttons are your preference, if you don't look) as long as I can feel I've touched it, it just works.

I've got a classic Triton. That is MUCH more likely to get something wrong. But hit the right target zone on the screen (no more difficult than picking the right button in a sea of other buttons) on a G70, and the function works 100% of the time.

My only problem now is simply the choice of layout, where the virtual buttons are... they aren't always in the area I would LIKE them to be... But that is a problem with physical buttons just as much, with the advantage that at least a software screen COULD be redesigned after the fact, which a button can't be...

So, simply put... if your impression of touch screen effectiveness goes back a generation or so, rest assured. Things have got VERY reliable.
