I hear this a lot. Mostly from people who have never actually tried
Unity/GNOME Shell on a touch screen. You should try it, it sucks. :)
If you look on youtube there's loads of videos of people trying out
Unity on tablets. It's far from an ideal experience, and I wouldn't say
it was designed for it. I think the big iPhone-style icons in the
launcher make people thing that, but Xandros on the Eee PC some years
back had a 'harry big buttons' experience too..
