I'll second that. I don't see the need. However, I think a Desktop made like the Nintendo DS would be worth a look. Touch screen keyboard.

I had the same thoughts today while reading about HP's TouchSmart desktop PC and upcomming full size laptop with giant finger icons covering the screen. I think these are maybe a marketing thing because of the popularity of the iPhone.
But lots of netbook fans like to add touchscreens just because they can and for whatever special purpose, like maybe ebook reading, etc.

For some reason I just don't see the appeal of touchscreen PCs. Seems like more work than just using a mouse or trackpad … For pocket computers it saves space if you can eliminate the keyboard, but on a PC it just adds cost and doesn't seem to have any benefit outside of very specific applications.
