An interesting thing I've noticed while working on the Microsoft Device Emulator for SmartPhones on a PC is that the SmartPhone OS actually does recognize some mouse commands. Many UI elements like scroll bars can be manipulated with your mouse. Since the device emulator is supposedly running the exact binaries of WM5, it should mean that the smartphone OS nativally has some touch support. Even the context menu works.
