Beyond the "neat" factor. I think it opens up so many more opportunities on how the user interacts with the GUI. And not just the pinch factor. On top of which, the precision on this new technology means you don't have to be constantly using your fingernail if you don't have a stylus handy. The ability to measure how much pressure is being applied can also open up so many more interface options. I have not even mentioned multitouch yet...The tech without the multitouch seems to take resistive touchscreens to the next level in terms of precision, something they are in need of.
