Interesting, but I find it interesting that every new concept out there has a touch screen. IMHO, people like the tactile response of actual keys.

Perhaps I'm too old school to "get it" as I learned how to type on a typewriter.

mitch,
I had one of those customizable touchscreen remotes from marantz. GREAT unit, but you had to look at the thing all the time.

Touch screen would be really really really nice. We just need to find a way to keep them clean. (This from a guy who has extra oily hands that given enough time, take layers of paint and plastic off of mice.)

A victim of overengineering. If I can't change channels and adjust the volume by touch, then it's useless.
