Touchscreens have one big win over keyboards: they can work with any language. Never great, but always better than the wrong keyboard. For instance I'm currently writing on a Japanese keyboard: I cannot write in French with it because I cannot input accents in an acceptable manner. I could get away with either an American or a French keyboard, but I have none at hand (well, technically there is one, but an accident involving a cup of coffee makes it only useful to write text without the letters 'u', 'i', 'o' and 'p'). So when I need to write French I write it on my iPhone and email it to myself, then copy-paste... Pretty niche use-case, I admit.
