Hi there
To those who say Touch will never have a place on the traditional Desktop I suggest they look at some reviews of the just released GALAXY S4 phone where a lot of the touch screen movements can be done via EYE scrolling technology -- IMO this is a total BALL CHANGING GAME. The technology is in it's infancy but it brings advantages of Touch to large traditional monitors - classical TOUCH is obviously pointless since you are in any case too far away (or should be) from a large monitor to use touch - but controlled by EYE movements --totally different idea.
Take the two monitor scenario -- great idea to switch between the two via EYE CONTROL rather than have to use touch or even a mouse. With the extended desktop on two monitors even better.
Hopefully Windows will incorporate this type of technology too --remember this is only the first iteration of EYE technology by SAMSUNG -- give it some adaptations and we'll soon wonder how we ever got on with out it.
It won't replace a mouse any time soon but certainly for switching applications and for quick scrolling by EYE to the bottom of the document to press say the SEND or SAVE key without using keyboard or mouse would be a small start. A blink for example on the SEND / SAVE key or just looking at it for a certain time would function as if you had pressed the button.
I've posted a link elsewhere on the Forum about the Galaxy S4 phone.
Now Ms let's have a WINDOWS phone to compete.
Cheers
