People who know little about computers can immediately begin using a touch screen model, whereas a mouse or trackpad takes time to learn. Also, it is the fastest interface for on-the-go users. I support physicians' practices which exclusively use resistive touch screen laptops for seeing patients. The doctors love it and are totally unwilling to give up the convenience. Thus I am on the hunt for new touch screen enabled laptops. Why can't more companies see the benefits of this interface (note popularity of the iPhone!) and begin making more models like this?

Why is a tablet pc called a tablet? Because you write on it. Who writes on tablets the most? Students. Students with laptops/tablet pcs don't tend to be hardcore into fingerpainting. Unfortunately Students also don't generally have $2,500 to spend on a really cool finger paint set. Guess I'll look to someone else to actually try to succeed with the Tablet PC form factor.
