One of my minor gripes about the empeg has always been that the display seems a little small. It may be unfeasable from an engineering standpoint, but it would be really cool to have a face that was entirely an lcd screen (no buttons) so that the visuals could be larger and track information could be displayed without blocking part of the visual.

That was the original plan. In fact, some of the pics at the Empeg web site reflect this. But the bigger display would have cost more, and a remote-control-only system would irritate a lot of people.

When you get the unit into your car, the display doesn't look that small. It's quite big and legible, and very bright. In fact, if it were larger, it would be too distracting when driving at night.
