&gt;<i>Taking pictures, listening to music, even calling someone, all require high attention interaction over an unfit touchscreen.</i><p>Are you kidding me? All of those functions are 10x easier to do on the &quot;unfit touchscreen&quot; that on what we had before that (tiny non-touch screens, LCDs, 80&#x27;s style arrays of buttons, etc).<p>And when it comes to actually taking the picture, changing track or volume etc, smartphones even offer physical buttons on the sides.<p>Remember trying to get to the 10th track of the 4th folder in your &quot;physical&quot; CD mp3 player or minidisk? Setting anything more advanced than zoom level and picture mode on a typical 2002-2005 compact camera?
