Will there ever be the opportunity to use the touchpad as a touchscreen equivalent?

Question

I would like the ability to select my touchpad as a touchscreen equivalent.
In normal mode I drag my fingers to emulate mouse movement.
In touchscreen mode, WHERE I touch my touchpad equates to a spot on the screen instead. It's a bigger touch surface than my iPhone and until there is a proximity detector (like a Bamboo pad) integrated into the touchpad, it could work like the iPad in Safari. One touch to highlight, a second tap to activate.
Why? Well if you can't imagine the benefits yourself, it would allow us to play iPad games without moving a cursor into position first. I'll let you imagine the rest.
The touchpad can already detect where your fingers are and how many you use. This would seem to be a programming effort, not a mandatory hardware change.
Feel free to push my suggestion up the line.
All I want is free access to the software when it's done.
