    Someone said the same about touchscreen when you were still a kid. If you don’t want it, don’t buy it.

      I was an adult when touch screens properly took off, and I doubt this is in the same league.

      There was some practical purpose to touch screens, whereas this thing is just unnecessary. I doubt it would have the same effect.

        Having a phone that can turn into an iPad is probably going to get some use.

        There is practical purpose to a touchscreen, the fact that short sighted people couldn’t see its usefulness is my actual point.

          I’m just saying I don’t think the market is going to be big enough for these models to even get close to emptying shelves. Maybe it’s not the right time, I don’t know, I’m just finding it difficult to see any use where people would find it more appealing than the form factors and devices they already have.
