But when your whole work-life is to reach for and touch such things,

you are a (very) casual user, maybe a touch screen is nice, but I
wouldn't put too much money on it...
"Minimize your movements to work faster and with less fatigue" is a
synonym for "subject yourself to repetitive stress injuries." Move more
while you're working; not less. Speed is not your #1 priority. Or,
rather, shouldn't be.
The PBJ factor alone would be a concern! (P'nut Butter and Jelly on
those little pointing fingers :) And it drives me up the wall when
someone touches my screen and puts a smudge on it! Just think if my
whole day were to smudge my screen and clean it at the end... :-)
I see smudgery as one of the technical problems waiting to be solved,
not an impassable barrier to deployment.
