[nabs-l] Your thoughts on touch screen

[Kirt Manwaring]

Hey Nabsters,
  I used to hate them with a fiery passion.  I can totally understand
where Joshua's coming from cause I was there before I got my IPod
touch.  And, honestly, it's still not as natural for me as a good old
notetaker, or regular keyboard.  But with voiceover, they work and
they work wonderfully, even if it still feels a little strange to me
sometimes cause it's so unlike anything I've used before.
  But Apple's certainly shown that touch screens can be made
accessible.  Will it ever be my prefered interface?  Probably not.  Do
I still love it and use it all the time?  Absolutely.  And now that I
have a bluetooth keyboard for my ipod touch, it's even easier.
  HTH,
Kirt
