This could be done and applications wouldn't have to be rewritten. Likewise, you can just run a desktop OS and desktop apps on a tablet and nothing would have to be rewritten. Everybody thinks that sounds great; once they use it, nobody thinks so anymore. Because it's awful. That's the whole point of iPad using an OS and a collection of apps that from day 1 has been intended for touch.

Since you can do that selectively in software there's no reason Flash shouldn't do it while the tablet OS and other applications should. Touchscreen UI is all good but there will always be a class of applications that want both more precision and mousemove events. As a personal note, touchscreens are painful to use unless you only have functionality behind big baby-size buttons. I wish I could always switch to such a touchpad mode if I wanted to.
