Yeah, this is the reason I find it highly unlikely touchscreens will ever be the dominant form factor. But they will become more and more present in applications where typing and precision screen object manipulation aren't required. Especially things are moving in a direction where the touch screen devices and the standard keyboard input devices are compatible. Then touch screen and standard systems can be mixed in an environment without having to fight through issues of file formats etc.
