In the dawn of time when Cirque [1] launched the glidepoint - the mother of all touchpads - I used touch to click on Linux and OS/2. To give an idea of how long ago this is, the thing was connected to the PC through a 9-pin serial interface, just like the mouse which it was meant to replace. I still have the device, it still works although the plastic shell and the buttons have undergone quite a few repairs. Touch to click is more or less as old as the idea of a touchpad.
