I suspect we will see the share desktop experience extend to other devices.

In an post release interview Jony Ive implied that the touch bar was the first step in a new paradigm.

Imagine the Photoshop toolbar being available on your iPad's touch screen, while you're editing a photo on your Mac. Or playing a video game while using your iPhone for controls.

I think good tactile feedback is fundamentally required as the first step. Touch, even with haptic feedback makes for a very poor experience compared to memorizing shortcuts that use real keys.

Then Apple should have waited until that type of integration was available. This is the first comment that has made me even the slightest bit excited for the touch bar interface paradigm. Controlling your system using your iPad/iPhone would be really cool and I think I would be on-board. As it is, this little touch bar thing on some MBP models is a big yawn.
