These are good points, but again the question is whether we're seeing a weakness of touch input or whether the problem is that we're fitting touch-based input into environments that have clearly been designed for mouse-and-keyboard arrangements. Again, I'm not trying to say that touch is superior and should replace everything that we have today, but I don't think that we've reached the point where touch-based input is shining its brightest.
