I have never seen a multitouch device except on ads or on tv (High-tech shows such as CSI, NCIS, Bones, etc) and they always use that on the screens themselves, which is where multitouch belongs, and nowhere else. So yes I would agree with you that a multitouch-enabled touchpad would be more of a nuisance than anything unless it were beside the computer (USB-connected) and at least of a decent size, such as 8 1/2 x 11. (I don't suppose that an individual user would be able to afford the touch tables they use on those shows, and we all know that there are wizards behind the scenes who do the actual computer work.)
