    I wonder if this means Art Lebedev will create an entirely new, cool, product with this? Blogs will extol its virtues, geeks will admire it, and the world will await the day it emerges from the lab. And when it finally does ship, no one, not a single person, will buy it.

    This is nice and all, but it seems pretty unnecessary. If buttons are a concern of yours, this this doesn't look like it's going to be better than simply getting a phone with regular buttons under the display, and something with a very good responsive touch screen is not going to need this (who blindly pokes at touch screens anyway?) I could be wrong, but I don't see button/touch screen hybrids going that much further beyond the Blackberry Storm's method. There really doesn't seem much of a reason to.

    But you still need set button spaces. So you'd still need a standalone touchscreen for applications where where you touch is variable (dragging maps, scrolling, games where you're to tap a moving character). Unless, of course, they can have pixel-large perforations...

    Sure, it's all "OOhs and AAAAhs" until you have repair one.


    Then the gnashing of teeth starts. (Not always, but often enough.)

    I used to fabricate custom conrol panels for surveilance vehicles.

    It's actually easier when it's your own baby, but those in the know are aware...

    Whatever on my other comment gettin' thrown aside. This is what the gizmo fetish is all about: knobs, sliders, and push buttons. Deep down, it's all about the signal to noise here. Respect.

    Do you mean 'thrown aside' because no one replied to it?

    As someone who has a studio stashed away somewhere, there's less and less buttons and knobs. People are always impressed by buttons and knobs, but most of the button and knob stuff is now routed in the computer.


    The more advanced it gets, the less impressive it looks.

    Mixing consoles often look like they have more buttons and knobs than they really do. All the vertical strips are duplicates and do the same thing...except each one is for a different track of audio.

    @Lou Esposito: You can take it one step further and say that all the knobs on that single strip basically control volume - volume at different frequencies, overall volume, volume of right channel relative to left channel, but basically, it's all about volume.

    Andrea, are you also Andi, the editor that I assumed was a male for so long?


    On another note, I would unfortunately think that the noise this thing creates will attract more people to my cube.


    My advise, eat plenty of garlic and beans, that should keep this issue from ever coming up.

    Yeah, sorry, I have a Twilight Zone Pinball Machine sitting in my living room right now that I've been religiously restoring for my fiance (Yes, in this case it really is HER pin). I don't need a button to prove my dedication, I have the scrapes, bruises, and burns from re-soldering, de-soldering, and dealing with sharp under playfield components.


    We regularly have dates that involve going to places that still have pinball machines and alcohol. I don't care what people think, but an Xbox 360 has nothing on the necessary timing to sling a large metal bearing around a playfield using real world physics.

    @Bokusatsu_Tenshi:


    I got a pocket full of quarters, and I'm headed to the arcade.

    I don't have a lot of money, but I'm bringing ev'rything I made.

    I've got a callus on my finger, and my shoulder's hurting too.

    I'm gonna eat them all up, just as soon as they turn blue.
