So 2009's navigation will be touch screen?
According to wikepedia, it will be touch screen
Other car manufacturers use similar technologies in their cars, including Audi's MMI and Mercedes-Benz's COMAND system. One system, available in the SsangYong Chairman, has an almost identical knob on the centre console which is an ashtray. Apple Inc. is rumored to be planning to launch an in-car navigation system for Mercedes-Benz. The interface will likely bear strong resemblance to the iPhone, offering a touchscreen interface and borrowing the device's Google Maps integration. According to reports, the first 2009 models sporting the new navigation technology are likely to show up in mid to late 2008.

Isn't Wikepedia editable by anyone? I'd feel more comfortable with this information if it came from one of the automotive industry media outlets.
It seems odd that MB would re-vamp their COMAND system one year into a new model. Touch screen technology has been working in the Japanese cars for years now. If MB was changing so soon, why not introduce it with the all new car? Then again, I'll never understand how the Germans think.
It's interesting and I'm going to keep my feelers out on this one.
