What would Sony do with a touchpad?

Nothing. Its a pointless knee-jerk reaction to WiiU just like PS3's initial sixaxis motion crap to Wii. Additionally, let it be known that I absolutely hate touchpads on laptops and always use a USB mouse instead.

I concur, dont see this working, do they want me to stretch my thumb to reach the pad when im playing a game, or do i hold it with my left hand while i use my index finger on my other hand to operate the pad. Niether gesture seems natural to me and i cant see myself wanting to deal with it in the middle of a game. 

yeah but I guess as long as it doesn't cost a lot I won't mind.  I was just worried it would take money that could have been put into more actual console power (like what happened with WiiU).  However if they took out sixaxis and the touchpad they could save a few bucks for the console and help beef up the RAM or something.
