This can in no way be compared to a IR touch screen, as you all will find out soon enough I'm sure.
There are no fingerprints at all on my 350, last cleaned... oh, probably a couple of months ago. The screen is kind of matte, so does nät show of fingerprints easy. And you don't actually have to touch the screen. Really! "Touch" is actually incorrect. You need to be extremely close to the screen, but you can get action without touching it. And if your finger is messy (like when I eat donuts and read at the same time) a Q-tip works just as well, or maybe vn better than your finger.
I do agree that a good device has both touch adn buttons for page turning, to give the user flexibility.
