Add an additional button to select files rather than drag'n'drop

For touch devices (or full screen apps)

A touchable droparea would be great for touchdevices to select files.

Hi @glumb. I'm not entirely sure on how I'm going to implement it. On the one hand I don't want to overload the user interface by adding additional buttons or text, on the other hand it should be clear that there is a touch/click file select. I'll think of something :)

Hi @enyo ,
what about firing a click event on a hidden file select element, like this: http://jsfiddle.net/Akkumulator/tv992/5/
if the user clicks on the drop area the event fires and he can select the files.
this worked for me at the iPhone and on desktop.

@glump, It's not a technical problem, but I need to get the user interface right. Dropzone is about simplicity and I want to follow that path. I want to avoid confusing or obscure features so I have to figure out the best way to make sure that a click/touch in the selected area is an obvious user choice.

I think I'll just add a text notice like this #14. This way it's not too invasive, but still clear.
