There are other options - touchscreens map inherently to the data on the screen, but they are unreliable or costly. So that makes technology from Hitachi very interesting - a passive touchscreen that just uses ordinary transistors to detect where you put your finger - nothing to wear out, and can be added to ANY LCD screen (PC, TV or mobile phone) There's a demo at www.flaherty.co.uk (hope that's OK)
