We can hope, but I wouldn't expect it.
- The marketing types at Sony seem to believe that touchscreen is the only technology that makes people buy Sony. In their minds touchscreen is not a disadvantage. I don't know if they pay attention to the screaming going on online - they may think that the tiny majority is making all the noise about glare and poor contrast, and the majority is totally happy. And for all I know they may be right.
- There is no perfect touchscreen technology. Wacom requires a stylus. People don't want a stylus. Capacitive touchscreen is rather imprecise, with finger and all. Makes it hard to select words, push small-font links, buttons, etc. I've been having issues with it on my cellphone since forever. iPhone/iPad gives you the advantage of integrating multitouch to be able to zoom into the smaller areas, but eInk screens are way too laggy for that. What's left it the same resistive touchscreen they have been using all along. Unfortunately.
