constantine and others,

How accessible do you think the touch wheel of the iPod Video would be
to someone who is visually impaired?

Two other things about the touch wheel: can it be easily turned by
accident when the device is in a pocket? Finally, is it easy to
change it at will when the device is in a pocket?

Thanks, and I look forward to "rocking" once again...as soon as I find
a good player!

Cheers,

Grant
