What they need is some way to make the screen raise up where a "button" is, that you can press it in with a better feedback.
My cell phone vibrates every time I touch the screen (it's touch screen). While it is a step in the feedback problem, I still can't type without looking at it very easily. Even when I do, I press the wrong thing much more often than I do using a keypad or keyboard.
And that's what would prevent me from ever replacing my keyboard with a touch screen or that type of design. Even the ones that they light up an image of a keyboard on your desk and detect where you "press" on your empty desk. I couldn't trust those over using a normal keyboard, where I can at least feel that I even am pressing a button at all.
Which is why, for me, they would need some way that the screen could actually raise for a button, or something of that sort. But I don't know what the possibilities of figuring that sort of thing out would be...
