Todd -
do download Avid Studio for iPad2 (or whatever the hell it is called...Pinnacle I guess) and iMovie. It can be done, and I do see FCPX landing there (at least some 'lite' version). I got a feeling "touch-editing" is not meant for us old guys....just like FCPX...
For serious work? That depends on what one considers serious. But certainly some rough and prep work can be done via touchscreen.

Do you see anything in FCP X that suggests that it could, even in theory, be operated by touchscreen?

As ergonomic as I try to make my setups it still wears in the long haul. I can't imagine how I would have felt if I'd been on a touch screen system. I think they'd have had to wheel me out on a stretcher. Perhaps there are ways a touch screen could augment the typical keyboard and mouse/wacom/control surface but I don't really see it speeding up the process. I can't see what's under my hand/finger. Has anybody grown fond of a touch screen for editing day in and day out?
