Unfortunately, the desciptions of the interface make it sound a whole lot more complex than it really is. Having seen the actual "round navigation pads" he mentioned, and seeing his descriptions of them, I'm a bit suspiscious that he didn't make even a cursory attempt to understand what they did.
I didn't find them awkwardly placed, but that is an
entirely subjective thing, so it's not a big thing that he did find them so, but the way he glosses over and dismisses the controls really makes me wonder how hard a look he took at them ... or maybe how soft a look might be better put.
