I think you're looking for a self post in /r/Apple.

I could write a bunch of crap about the different pieces of functionality that are lacking in touch applications or the wasted screen real estate or touch interfaces in general.

But these types of articles are around the internet everywhere and this post simply isn't worth the effort to discuss.

Build something better and easier to use and i'll dump Apple, buy your product, and be your number one cheerleader. I was simply trying to convey my surprise that an action totally unrelated to everyday everyman computer use only took a month to become, for me, a reflex.

"easier to use". I have absolutely no problems using Ubuntu 10.04. It's better in almost every way in terms of openness and functionality and I can be much more effective in terms of getting things done quickly and efficiently than you ever could on a touch screen device lacking a dedicated keyboard and mouse.

My only point is that the desktop space and mobile space are very different and I don't see them converging.
