The touchscreen keyboard works well? That's surprising. I may be a little bias with that statement. I've tried using the touchscreen keyboard on the iphone. Trust me: it's a painful endeavor.
It works better than on the iPhone, primarily because it's easier to be accurate on a larger surface.
However, it's still nowhere near as intuitive as a normal keyboard under normal conditions, because you still have to type one-handed, and you still have to open up sub-menus to locate most punctuation and numbers.
People who think this is going to kill the laptop (or netbook) are painfully deluded. It's still not going to be seen as a serious piece of equipment for business use. It's a toy, and like almost everything else Apple manufactures, it's vastly overpriced for its level of actual functionality.
