The error rate on a touchscreen keyboard is high enough to really become a problem at 20+ characters when you only see the last typed character (no password review).

Taking the XKCD canonical example, "correct horse battery staple", it's a reasonably secure and lengthy password and includes special characters. It could also be keyed in via something like Swype or SlideIT in almost as fast as it could be keyed in on a computer keyboard.
