Perhaps initially, but there is always a possibility that some form of trackpad or new type of keyboard will be introduced. I have no clue of what may or may not be coming down the road, but it seems to me there is two possibilities. One being the jesters are going to be really intended for touch screen devices, such as the iPhone, perhaps iPod Touch, and maybe a tablet machine and then the more conventional input methods of keyboards and the like for desktop machines. And then of course laptops, which sort of fall in between both segments if you will. Of course I'm merely speculating and thus talking out of a specific orifice, but not afraid to admit it. :) Speculation is half the fun.
