I would think the main use for the touch screen would be easy text chatting with your friends online. And I think that would be absolutely brilliant. As it is now you have to either send voice messages like many do on XboxLive or you have to write text with your PS Dual Shock controller which is extremely slow and annoying.

Keypads are available.

I knew someone would say that. But the point is that the touch screen would be available for everyone. If I get a key pad for my PS360 and keep spamming text messages to my friends I still wont get many quick or extensive replies like I get on the messageboards here on VGC or any PC chat because my friends on PS360 most likely are struggling writing text on their regular controllers. There's absolutely no dialogue of substance between members on PSN or Xbox Live as of now (Xbox Live is debatable since voice messaging is quite big there).

That's because easy replies aren't standard, not that touchpads aren't standard.
