I work primarily on designing applications for Microsoft Surface, and I would say it's less hype and becoming more of a reality. Haptic feedback, pressure sensitivity; and accuracy are all becoming realities for touchscreen technology so its becoming much more a practical part of a persons life. I would say touchscreen in its current state is aimed at a different type of interaction than a typical computer interface, e.g. typing. I'd also say touchscreen has been around for at least 2 decades and is becoming more of a pervasive reality than the clunky ATM touchscreens of yesteryear! It's still early days of course, but it's less about the hype and more about designing innovative useful applications that maximize touch tech potential. thanks james
