a touch screen is not an advantage.
anyone who has ever owned a touchscreen device will tell you that.
if touchscreens were so great, manufacturers would make the buttons on their
non touch screen devices perfectly flat with no tactile feedback to emulate
a touchscreen.
the keyboard for your pc wouldnt have keys, it would have flat touch
sensetive keys instead.

touch screens are, horrible.
one day they may invent one where the screen has a jelly like coating giving
tactile feedback with software programmable keys that push through the
screen - maybe thousands of tiny pins pushing out to create shapes.
until that day, touchscreens are not worth having.
