I have my own reasons for wanting a tablet. And as many have said, it's not worth it.

Are apps written for touch interfaces really that different from normal apps? I see it as just a change of proportions, buttons larger, fonts remain same/readable, input is made to accommodate for the inaccuracy a tap.

I was reading around and these are some programs that can make the experience much easier:
Modlock
GMote
apps written for a touch os have controls meant to be used by your fingers. Apps written for windows are intended to be used for a mouse. Having to go through the menu's in excel or outlook using your fingers gets old very quick.
