The only skill I have with my fingers is typing on a keyboard and playing bass guitar, so I'm not the target market for this program, but it's nice to see Corel investing resources in making touch-focused applications. Touch on a computer is a classic chicken-and-egg problem; the hardware guys won't invest in making touch everywhere until there's software to use it, and the software is slow in coming because there's not enough hardware out there. Corel has moved the bar forward a little with this new app - looks like fun!
