I should add to hear that both touchscreens textures and keyboard commands which accomplished gestures can be combined seamlessly. So, for instance, sometimes I use my keyboard to reply to email, in which case I would find the correct button on the screen and activate it by double-topping on it, and then use the keyboard to write my message. Then I would touch the send button and double-tap it to send the message.
