The touch based workstation has been a concept forever, the technology just hasn't been there to execute it for a mass audience. All these systems need to do is provide enough value to be marketable; there's no reason for tech companies to ignore this as a product category.

With more time and effort put into development it may be surprising just how effective they become. Most young kids I see are far more exposed to touch based interaction than trackpad, keyboard or mouse and I expect that will continue to be the case for most of their lives. Those of us who grew up with a physical keyboard as a primary input device can't relate.
