As obnoxious and rude as lindsey1234567 is being, there really isn't a problem with shaking devices with no moving parts. If the iPhone had a hard drive shaking it would be bad, but it runs on flash memory and has no moving parts to worry about breaking that way (it does, for example have an accelerometer that has moving parts but it's designed to capture those movements like shaking as user input).

I also dislike touchscreens. While they may replace mice, keyboards are a different issue. Have you ever tried typing on an iPhone? It's not very fun. Maybe the next generation of laptops will have two screens, one typical, and one where the keyboard normally is. Still, greasy hands are a problem, and a keyboard is so much more practical and easy to use. Why change for change's sake?
