Did you hear that Steve Jobs once say a desktop App Store was a bad idea?

Touch Screen would work fine on an Air, at least.

In general, the idea that Jobs constantly says something sucks and then does it himself mostly seems to come from people over-interpreting what he says. In this particular case, I can't think of what you're referring to. Do you have a link?

This sounds like a real problem to me - my desk at school is too high up, so I've even ditched my laptop stand as otherwise I'd have to lift my arms up to reach the keyboard half the time. I would definitely be uncomfortable constantly touching a screen. And what do you think those enormous trackpads are for?
