Look, I've recognized that the buttons look "kewl" and all, they just aren't that intuitive. Hence, a step back in usability.

And mind you, I've tried using both layouts. A lot.


Once again, why do you need "tactile feedback" when you can hear (from changes in the music) that a button has been pressed? The only time that is a problem is when you are using the "Menu" button, which you need to be looking at the screen for anyways (to chose where you want to go) on any iPod.

I still don't see how they are not intuitive, and from my standpoint offer no difference in usability between the 1g/2g and the 3g.
