So...you're saying the G70's screen clicks under your finger in a physical manner like a button? You can feel the part of the screen under the virtual button move and click into place?

I don't remember feeling anything in the way of a definite tactile response on the G70's screen.

Why are the visually impaired so strongly opposed to them?

I know I found it harder to see with my peripheral vision...certainly no where as visible as a button with a light in it, and I found that my rather large fingers didn't negotiate too well.

But, I guess it seems to work well enough for you.

ALso, the screen's virtual buttons (or areas) are not physically delineated which negates sliding your finger around and locating by touch alone.

I have a blind friend who tried the G70 whilst it was here at my place...he thought the screen was virtually useless.

Bright sunlight? Not good.

I know I would be very disappointed if Yamaha went that way....perhaps they are waiting for the technology to improve even more before they venture into that area?

As they are presented now, I found them a step back rather than a step ahead.
