I think the user doesn't really need to click. For sure, interracting with current implementations of most software could actually need the "click", but if you design around the fact that there is no click, what happens? Maybe you've seen the video demonstrating that super multi-touch screen. In real life, we use two hands to interract with stuff. Those kind of Ideas could be merged... Think of the possibilities. Also, I remarked that while using this no-click interface, going through was done a LOT faster. We also need to think about the keyboard, altough, we should not need to use the keyboard and at the same time, navigate through the evironment. We have to keep in mind though, that this is truly NOT a good implementation in todays computer applications.
