Your comments are spot on.
Some good examples of non industrial situations where a touch interface can and
do work are:-
1) Airline self service check-in terminals (many are touch applications built
ontop of XP/Win 7)
2) Doctors Surgery checkin devices
3) ATM's
4) Supermarket Checkouts
As time goes by and the costs of implementing 'touch' come down there will be
more and more implementations in daily use.
However I am sure that there will be some(or many) where using touch is a
retrograde step in the user experience.
This is due to the (Dilbert) PHB 'How cool will it be to add touch to our
product' reaction to the technology.
I would really have issue with my bosses if I was ever asked to implement touch
in the area where I write software but there again, I'm a grump old man who is
less than 5 years from retirement so what do I know about software dev?

Ubuntu & 'apt-get' are not the answer to Life, The Universe & Everything which
is of course, "42" or is it 1.618?
