Is this the future of MFP LCD display panels? Or is it just clever marketing to appeal to buyers who already have Smart Phones with a similar User Interface?

It's a little busy for a copier display. The basic displays now on a lot of machines tend to confuse the average user, so imagine what that would do.
Let's also not forget that Sharp was the OEM for all of those dead Ricoh touchscreens, so let's hope they haven't used the same technology in these!

I am thinking the display will appeal to a buyer with an iPhone who sees three copier quotes that all look the same except for the display. Get the deal signed, worry about the Users later.
Sometimes technology has a way of moving backwards in it's ease of use and purpose served.
Case in point: the love affair with touchscreens
Imagine is all that existed were touchscreens, then some guy came out with a mouse. "Wow I don't have to keep lifting my arm? I can just move this pointer with a slight twist of the wrist? Awesome!"
I don't like it. Like others already stated, it will confuse the hell outta some users.
Why did they make a pull out keyboard for it? I would have thought they would have incorporated it into the touchscreen the guy keeps telling us is so HUGE.
Definitely agree its mainly sales gimmick.

The keyboard is a great sales item. Customers see it and are very impressed. Then they never use it. Who cares it helps get the deal! The keyboard does come in handy if your customers are running OSA applications which have alot of input to be done at the copier however so it does have it's place with OSA users.
Evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
Its all shits and giggles until some body giggles and shits...
I have read that early beta models are locking up and the keyboard freezes.
