When Apple moved to the low-profile keyboard on all of their keyboards, it made sense to me that Apple would move toward a touch-pad type interface for the keyboard in the future. Sure, the low-profile keys took a little getting used to, but Apple is smart in transitioning users to lower and lower profile keys until they're left with just a surface to type on. I believe they're working on tactile responsiveness so they can replicate the experience of typing on a keyboard, but with a touchpad input area.
Then again, I could be totally wrong. Still, all of the signs are pointing toward a large touch-pad like keyboard interface for Macs in the future.
But I agree with you on 10/GUI. How can I use it to make tasks easier? How can I use it to interface with the computer more easily. I would think eye-tracking devices would be more beneficial. Look there, cursor moves there. Blink to click on the word. That type of thing.
Hey, we need more blinking when we work with our computers. Stop the red-eye! :-)
