i've seen these devices around for a while. i can imagine mixing on

the way multitouch surfaces have been used for music "composition" to
date, most of which don't apply to the idea of using them to control
software like the stuff currently used by most people. finally, i
think that doing visual art with multitouch is qualititatively
different from using multitouch in conjunction with our other senses.
alexandre's second list concerned usability,
and although its clear
that some platforms do not have or need good keyboard driven
approaches, people are not going to be mixing multitrack audio on
android phones for a while yet.
Oh, but I wasn't referring to phones :) The kind of devices I was
referring to can be spotted here:
