Start a poll and see what we all think. I also believe the number of people who will not go touch-only are a vocal minority.
Look at it this way, the tablet and smartphone explosion is driven by touch-only devices, excepting home buttons and the like. I seem to recall Blackberry was one of the few brands that retained a physical keyboard in some phones. How's that working out for Research in Motion? Not so well.
I used to prefer page turn buttons but my Kindle PW works just fine for me. I assume deleting buttons saves money if manufacturers are going to provide a touch screen anyway. I understand people wanting to keep buttons but I don't think the device market agrees.
