The touch screen interface is probably what most people use on a device like an iPhone or other smartphone though.  One time I plugged a USB mouse into an Android smartphone and a mouse pointer actually came up on the screen, but for a mobile device, I would imagine a mouse would more often be used with a tablet than a smartphone.

Also I've never had any bugs fly onto my smartphone screen..
