"Click" vs. "tap"

Nik Fletcher, in reference to an alert in iOS 4 that says "Click OK to confirm…":

As pointed out by Brandon Walkin this still isn’t great: using ‘Click’ on a touch-screen device is flat-out wrong…

Yeah, "tap" would be better, but I don't think it's any worse than using "dial" for touch-tone or touch-screen phones.

This disagreement aside, I do like all the little things Nik noticed.
