I bet there is money to be made for developers who make content intended for touch screens.
If you're talking about Tablets, yes. Everybody's already into Phones, but Tablets are still a big growth area.
If you're talking about office PCs, I don't think so. There are two reasons: 1) Touch in not a natural fit for desktop devices. PC monitors stand up, and touch is not a natural motion for something vertical and in front of you. 2) Touch is not a natural fit for the kind of applications that run in the office. Office apps are heavily into displaying lots of info that can be scrutinized, rearranged, and edited. The mouse does that lots better than your fingers do.
There are (see SmartPhones) many things that touch works great for. But we won't be doing them on PCs.
