Asus to release touchscreen EEE PCs. Why?

Eee_pc_3Asus can’t seem to have enough different models of EEE PCs and are seemingly always looking for variants they can produce.  Word has appeared that they are going to start producing EEE PC models with touchscreens in the next six months.  I have been a long-time supporter (and user) of touchscreens in a Tablet PC form factor but I cannot see the benefit of having a laptop with one.

Sure it’s cool to tap on the screen and make stuff happen but I personallly find that difficult to do with a clamshell laptop.  I don’t like lifting my hands from the keyboard when I’m working.  Maybe it’s just me.  Plus I hate smudgy screens with all those fingerprints on them.  :)
