That is quite possibly true for the average new user, who also probably wants a full-fledged remote. That person should still get the Duet (assuming that the Duet still exists, of course). On the other hand, the Touch is clearly a viable upgrade path for a user with a Duet who wants any or all of the noted features -- internal SBS, handling of higher-res files, etc etc. In some regards it is close to the TP. Personally, I couldn't care less about the color screen or the readability, I'd be using a Controller, just like I will for the TP. I won't be getting an iPhone or iPad, though, having had my fill of that particular evil empire.
