That's not even a touchscreen. It's a trackpad with multitouch gestures designed for use with a desktop-based GUI on a PC. How is that equivalent to the iOS UI paradigm? That's like saying a mouse is equivalent to a Xerox Alto.

Of course; Fingerworks developed the input device, Apple developed the UI paradigm. There's more to a UI paradigm than the input device. How many times do I have to say this?
