My issue is that I can find much better places to save power than
making a device useless to me.  If I had to power it done manually with
a switch every time I was done with it then I would never use it.

Seriously things like a Toyota Prius most likely consume more power in
the off state than the Touch.  Almost every modern car uses power when
it is off, and just because it is not plugged into your house grid does
not mean that is "free" power.

Personally I would rather see devices like my microwave, oven, coffee
maker and such put more effort into NOT using power when off than they
do now over say my Touch.  The Touch actually provides a feature by
using power, those other device provide what?  A soft-touch switch and
a clock that I always have to reset when the power flickers, I can do
without the clock and soft-touch switch.
