The point is that touch screens have a great reputation. Just as glossy displays, the only reason that they were conceived is just because they are cheaper to produce than matte displays. But that doesn't stop the mindless masses from buying premium prices for them just because it is the new thing. Or that 1080p has somehow gotten a better reputation than 1920x1200 for workstations. And how people actually believe that HDMI is, in any way, better than displayport because that's what TVs use.

Sorry, my "Hypothetically" wasn't a quote of yours.

Then what you're saying is touch screens on non-tablet devices is a fad to lure in clueless consumers? We're in complete agreement then.
