I just cannot imagine spending my entire day holding or reaching up to touch a device. I work at a desk. I code. I write documentation. I send emails. I don't see how touch fits into my workflow at all.
Touching my desktop screens would involve moving my hands to around eye level. I hold my phone/tablet a lot lower.
My real problem in the new world order is that tablets seem to have topped out at 10 inches. While that may be comfortable for many, my hand span is the same width as the screen and I'd prefer something a lot larger.
* Old Android version and Toshiba have no history of staying fresh with Android
* Tegra 3 based, and will be released just as Tegra 4 devices come out
I do like that is has an SD card slot, micro USB/HDMI etc. Sadly all they have done is take a mediocre tablet and scaled it up, and then delayed releasing it.
10/GUI is a proposed new user interface paradigm. Created
in 2009 by R. Clayton Miller, it combines multi-touch
input with a new windowing manager.
It splits the touch surface away from the screen, so that
user fatigue is reduced and the users' hands don't
obstruct the display.[1] Instead of placing windows all
over the screen, the windowing manager, Con10uum, uses a
linear paradigm, with multi-touch used to navigate between
and arrange the windows.[2] An area at the right side of
the touch screen brings up a global context menu, and a
similar strip at the left side brings up application-
specific menus.
