No...

Thanks for the FUD, but multitouch resistive technology exists and doesn't make you throw away your sketching apps, handwriting input capability (goodbye 1B+ potential customers in China), and so forth. There are also capacitive-type technologies that accept stylus input if desired.

I would tentatively agree about 4-row keyboards. Arrow keys for all!
