The PW pulled off capacitive screen tech better than the Aura did. I'm less worried about that than the bezel and ambient light sensors. Those will probably be the technologies that will cause more firmware and hardware revisions. I'm not convinced that Amazon has perfected those in their first gen product.

I'd say it's more because capacitive screens don't work well with water on them, or underwater - the IR fares much better in such situations (as drops of water won't automatically trigger the screen).
