Because the input device is so small that there is no room to use multiple fingers effectively? Because that is the way people use mobile touch screen devices? (Hold the device with one hand, poke/type with the other)

How many new touchscreen-only devices are coming out with screens so small that this solution is feasible?

A lot since the iPhone shows how well it works.

How many people use more than one finger on the screen and how often?
