And in order to change that the providers of touchscreen computers have to figure out a way to encourage developers into that market. That's been the problem with touchscreens since day one. No one was really doing that, or are they now that I can see. For good or bad, Apple and Google are the ones making that move, each in their own way. Windows and the windows OEMs aren't doing so well at it. |
