Better to use something like Maemo/MeeGo that is designed from ground up for touchscreen devices.
yep, a pr file type action menu of sorts, always available so that one could tap once to highlight, tap on the actions menu icon (or whatever). Another issue is multiple sections, when one cant do simple area drag.

but the worst offender to me have always been "mouse over".
