Unfortunately, I'm in the minority and have to stick with devices with physical keyboards/buttons now. I hate it. (On the upside, it does prevent me from a lot of gadget buying)
I'm in the same boat, I can't straighten my fingers/wrist anymore so I have to use my nails. I would hate to see the new Sony devices use a capacitive touchscreen. I understand that capacitive touchscreens would most likely cut down on glare and contrast issues but it would also make it harder for some of us to use.
