I can enter text on a screen without taking my finger off the glass
Can you enter text on a touchscreen while keeping your eyes off the touch keyboard? Tactile feedback offers a huge advantage.
The only times where I really like a full keyboard and pointer is for typing long documents, and creating things that require greater pointing precision than the tip of my finger (which, in my case, mean a Cherry Brown keyboard and trackball instead of mouse). But such creative work takes but a fraction of my total time interfacing with computing devices.
You essentially say here that keyboard and pointer are better than touchscreen.
A Samsung phone in the hands of a good photographer will produce more desirable results than a dork with a Hasselblad.
Yeah but a pro can do even more/better with pro tools.
