Do I really need a touchscreen?
I am about to install my first carputer (a Mac Mini). I plan to run OSX and XP with Parallels. I will be using the carputer primarily for 1) Music (OS X), 2) GPS (XP), 3) OBD (probably XP unless I find a Mac system that I like). I will occasionaly use the Mac for web access, movies, etc. while my truck is NOT in motion.
Now for the screen questions. I first though I needed/wanted a touchscreen, but now I am wondering if I really need one. I would like to use QCar FE once it is availble and it is primarily configured for SpaceNavigator input. I would also like to use voice recognition as much as possible but I have not researched to know if there good applications available. I am planning on a sinlge DIN in-dash screen (either motorized or non-motorized).
What are the pros/cons of touchscreen and non-touchscreen?
