But when the so called innovation goes so far that you aren't able to use maybe a slightly different approach, it becomes annoying. For example I can't reconfigure the loud/quiet buttons on my IPod Touch to be used as next/last song, because Apple thought that anyone should be glad to be able to use their oh so inventive touch screen. Well, when my IPod is in my pocket I don't want to have to take it out every time just to change to the next song.
