Yes - that`s right, but those users cannot use anything but a simple touch  
and unity is good enough for them the way it is now. BUT - most of Ubuntu  
users now, and in next few years are DESKTOP USERS and they use mouse.  
Unity must be easier to navigate for desktop users, because they used to  
navigate the quicker way.
This could be very quick and extremely easy way to perform everyday tasks.
