Because the UI for Photoshop was never designed for a touchscreen.

And what on earth makes you think the typing issue can be resolved. Tablets have been around for 20+ years and nobody has solved it.

Tablets have come a long way in those 20 years, my pessimistic friend. At the scale of tablet use, with loads of developers and very smart people in general looking at usability issues, many issues have been solved, and will be.

Any ideas on how they plan to solve the "fingers are big and imprecise" issue?

Not to mention no tactile feedback (deal-breaker for any serious typist) and ridiculous amounts of screen real estate lost to an onscreen keyboard (deal-breaker for any serious programmer).

We will one day have something to replace the keyboard - but it won't be the touchscreen.
