Try both as it depends on the person whether touch or button works better for them.

Good point - I hadn't really thought that through. My only experience of touchscreen is a satnav and that's an issue for me with my Shrek-like fingers, so I guess it will be more of an issue for someone without much movement in their hands. I wonder if there's a stylus like attachment that could be used instead? Mind you if buttons are close together it's still a problem. This is why I'd hoped for something like voice control which was mentioned earlier. That's what's really needed, but having winessed a voice app on a smart phone, I concluded the technology probably isn't quite up to speed yet.
Thanks,
David.
