To touch or not to touch

Apparently TEAC have jumped on the touchscreen functionality bandwagon with their MP-600 media player. Its top capacity is a bit on the small side at 4GB but is it slim or what? Measuring a mere 9mm thick this little sucker will almost comfortably slip into your back pocket.

TEAC MP-600

Check out the specs

* USB 2.0 Interface
* Supports mp3, wma, avi, jpg
* 3.5 inch LCD display
* CD/MMC slots
* FM radio and recorder (wav)
* A super slim 73×43x9 mm
* Weight 43g

Sounds good eh? Well the confusing thing is (well confusing for me at least) is that the specs on the TEAC website make no mention of the touch screen functionality. Yet many tech blogs are raving about it and all have sourced their info from this page on the French language website BestofMicro. BestofMicro mention the player’s ‘ecran tactile’ which means ‘touch screen’. Certainly there are icons on the display that would imply touch screen functionality such as a pause icon, yet it seems strange not to mention it in the marketing spiel. So what’s the story? Can I touch it or not?

If anyone out there has one of these slimline mini entertainment centers let us all know the true story.
