I could see multi-touch being an excellent innovation among tablets, but laptops? Multi-touch track pads, on the other hand, would be awesome.

Look, the iPhone is a really cool piece of technology. It is, it really is. But I loathe having to use a touch screen, and I know I'm not alone. I doubt touch screens are a fad, but for those of us who don't have long, slender fingers, its downright annoying trying to use a touch screen. Touch still has its place, even with people like me. But as the primary input method? I would go crazy. Glad to see I’m not the only one who isn’t sold on “touch” technology.
