Ok so heres what I'm trying to decide. I'm looking for something that has "good" ipod control.

I'm starting to think either the Alpine IDA-X305S

Or the Kenwood KIV-700.

Or as a third option a double din touch screen.

My main issue is I want something that I can quickly access my songs on the ipod / USB drive.
The Pioneer I use now is just too slow to scroll through the albums / artists / songs to find what I want when driving.
This has me wondering if a double din touch screen would do a better job than the two listed above.
I would like something that can play video for craps and giggles but its not a concern.
I also don't need something with a whole bunch of sound features, I turn them all off and let the mini DSP do its thing.

So I would like some opinions on what people are using for media control.
