I despise touch UI
everywhere (at least in its present incarnation). The only things it's good for is saving space on a small device, or simulating the experience of having no nerve-endings in your hands.
The industry could sell another trillion mobile phones, and it still wouldn't change reality: (a) it's uncomfortable to hold your hand hovering in midair for more than a few minutes (b) fingers are opaque and block screen real estate (c) to use a finger with precision requires tactile feedback (edges, textures, nubs) (d) a hand can't comfortably and quickly manipulate a screen larger than about 10 inches.
I look forward to the day when I can use a touch UI able to feel and sound like buttons, keys, sliders, etc. Until then, I will favor devices that don't use it.
