Dane:" But, my main point I guess is that it is an inconsistent model and it seems they are doing everything they can to shoehorn multi-touch in anywhere they can... and that this is a mediocre step to me."
I agree, however, I suspect this 'step' is part of a larger roadmap and classic new-apple roll out of piece meal innovation. One could call it 'milking the cult'. Might end up somewhere like here: http://www.axiotron.com/ Dane: "Also, I don't think the horizontal plane is necessarily better for touch input (even though I should be biased with Surface: ) . Horizontal, diagonal, and vertical planes can all be useful for touch input I believe." Again, I agree, but specifically I see difficulties with -multitouch- especially pinch & stretch two of the core gestures. The thumb just doesnt move well in that plane, not long enough.
