Can't wait for pocket computers to follow too.

nope! touch sscreen UI has safety implications inside a motor vehicle.

pocket computer's usage scope is way broader than inside a car, and you REQUIRE the infinite UI possibility provided by a pure touch interface

Still a massive limitation to be expected to use the device eyes on and high attention. I get that this is the trend but it's still not a good qualitative point.

in the context of an automotive interface, I agree with you touch UI is not the best.

I was responding to general purpose computing (smartphone) that the OP was referring to.
