How can this be seen as anything but a good thing? At the very least, touchscreens can be used as a more user-friendly (and faster!) mouse. Want to double-click something? Tap it twice. Aim a gun in a FPS game? Touch the spot, and have your gun there instantly a 'la Metroid Prime Hunters. There won't be any more need for the split-second delay while you move the mouse to touch something.

 

Are you serious?  I don't see how double tapping is faster than double clicking.  I'd say it is more likely many times slower.  Same with moving your gun.  You say there won't be a split second delay, but there will in the time it takes you to move your arm.  It just won't show in game.  How is moving my arm across a 21" screen more instant than moving my mouse about 2" and getting the same result?
