Didn't you know that you can get a Dvorak layout on any keyboard? In almost any OS, the keyboard layout is defined in software. Check it out:

You can pick up a split-key or "natural" style keyboard for about $20 if you look hard enough.

I switched to Dvorak about 5 years ago. My wrists and fingers are thanking me for it.

Why not take the touchpad metaphor all the way? Have a separate button for clicking. Your other hand isn't doing anything but holding the device. Have an intuitively placed button for that hand used for clicking. One hand moves the cursor, always in contact with the touchpad, the other clicks. Or if you do want multi-touch with both index fingers and two cursors, provide thumb buttons for clicking. Seems pretty straightforward, and likely a lot less complicated than this fake-finger-shadow business.
