Now, if the touch screen, as a mouse replacement, operates like an iPhone in
that touching highlights, dragging can be done with fingers, and a gesture
of some kind activates the highlighted icon, wouldn't we have the best of
both worlds, as long as icons can verbally be identified!

Hi Charles,
Well, what I envision is that the new Windows 8 laptops I've been hearing
about will have both a touchscreen and keyboard. The touchscreen will in
effect act like a mouse allowing the user to point to and tap on icons,
buttons, and other controls instead of pointing and clicking with a mouse.
The keyboard will be available for basic typing since touchscreens are not
up to typing a book, a report, or filling in large amounts of information
on a form, etc. So you will see a bridging of the best of both worlds.

I can't imagine laptops going to touch screens, as this would just about
kill the touch typing method for blind people. I would certainly hope
that there would be a way to connect an external keyboard? A touch
screen laptop, unless it works as the iPhone does, would be extremely
difficult for us to use.
