It only makes a 5 x 3 inch patch of the screen 'touchable', not the entire screen.

Speaking of

You didin't use it yourself.

This very product was suggested when I joined MP3car.com a year and a half ago. It was deemed relatively useless back then, too.

Yah but if you had a 5 inch screen or 7 inch screen it would be perfect.

Not without additional software, which I didn't find when I was considering using one. The Windows software that comes with it only launches programs, IIRC. You can't just put WinAmp underneath where it looks and start using it. I couldn't find any Linux software for it (I run only Linux now), and am not adept enough at coding to roll my own.
