It won't. Most of my work doesn't require precision pointing, but when it does, it really does. I often think that the need for precision pointing in everyday basic tasks is a problem that will be overcome by the constraints of tablet design. The rest of the precision pointing can stay in their specific domains. I would very much like a traditional drawing table that is a high res touch screen, with a mouse and keyboard, and a super accurate variety of stylus-like tools, with unlimited modeless multitouch. Without menus or gestures, I could use my eyes or just my sense of place and touch to find the tool I want from my own organizational method. Like the good old days. But even with that, I still would like a virtual cursor with a mouse-like pointer - it's just too useful.
