I'm most interested in writing, but I believe touch will allow developers more creativity. For instance, it's easy to tuck a pen into your fingers then use your fingers. Now you can use your fingers to drag the page up and down or zoom in using the iPhone trick of pinching the screen; I find that quick and clever. If you are using the pen to draw diagrams or write out math equations, lets say in something like matlab, it would be more taxing to set the tip on a scroll bar than it would to drop you finger onto the screen to push the page up. I could be the one missing the point, but I believe having both options will allow enough flexibility for developers to make pen and touch a semi-standard input device. Just realized I need to make it clear that I see tablet and hybrid laptops as the real use. I don't expect it to take over as a primary input device, just to be a commonly used secondary to keyboard and mouse.
