   My new one (yes, it has a CD player and a hole to plug your   
   phone's/ipod's output into, but the buttons are tiny and close together   
   and the labels are damn near invisible.  No hope at all of doing   
   anything while wearing thin leather gloves.  Fortunately the CD player   
   requires no attention.
