Hi Bryan,
Well, I'm sure there will still be keyboards around. After all even
though Windows 8 is designed for touchscreen input people who have to
type reports, fill in spreadsheets, etc can do that much faster than
with a touchscreen. What I think we'll see is a combo of touchscreen and
keyboard input on newdesktops, laptops, netbooks, tablets, etc.
For example, you might buy a laptop with both a keyboard and a
touchscreen. The touchscreen can be used like a mouse to activate icons,
scroll through text on the screen, and navigate around your Windows 8
laptop. The keyboard will be available for typing documents and entering
large amounts of data etc. So we'll end up with the best of both worlds
in that instance.
Cheers!

Agreed. Besides, unless I'm much mistaken there are protective cases
for the IPhone that turn it into a button device for those who need
them. Nor are they that expensive. All Liam and other game devs are
doing by turning to the IOS platform is trying to turn audio gaming
into a multiplatform rather than a Windows only market. As unlikely as
it may be I hope for the sake of the naysayers out there that touch
screens don't eventually supplant keyboards as the coming thing,
otherwise gaming will be the least of the activities they'll be locked
out of.
