Cell phone, touch screen, radio are features that if used appropriately will not cause problems. Personally, when I ride my attention is on traffic and bike control. In my mind appropriately would mean using any of the above should be done while stopped, save for listening to the radio.
AAA Study (pdf) here concludes that using hands-free cell phone are over twice, and using speech-to-text are over three times as distracted as a driver (rider?) alone and not distracted.

When I'm riding, all of my concentration is on looking cool! Don't have no stinkin time to answer the phone. Damn bike's so loud and shakes so much I can't even hear the phone when it rings or feel it vibrating.

The last thing I'm interested in when I'm on my bike is a stupid phone. I rarely carry the one I have unless I'm on a test drive with an intermittent that might strand me.
