We all must admit that in the consumer electronic market it is not about
how novel a product is, but how it is presented, advertised and whether
it comes at the right time or not. Think about the Microsoft guy who
held a tablet in its hands during a keynote well before the Apple guy.
And probably someone before him did the same with an even uglier device. :)
BTW it is not only about market. It happens the same with open SW/HW or
the academic community.

10 years ago you could get knobs that would "stick" onto a
laptop/monitor
screen and sent control data. Nothing new under the sun. That was actually
a real product. I'm 99.9% certain that the company who did it is out of
business.

If we start to build real knobs on top of tactile

:D
Especially because those products are used that much. I bet > 50% of us
can't live without such good useful tools ;).
Nice to read that you have got humour :). Can we assume that you are
not that enthusiastic anymore?
IIRC you once mentioned the book "The Design of Everyday Things" ;).

Yah, it seems I do. New movie title: The Man of Squeal (Superman is a
heavy metal guitarist who loves feedback). :)

Enthusiastic about what? I like knobs and sliders. Knobs and connecting
cables were some of the most fun things about the Moog! I have NO
tablet/touch surface except the little 2.5x4" touchpad on my laptop and
a couple of old Wacom graphics tablets (that only respond to their
stylii), so why should I care if ones are or were available for modern
tablet devices?
I plan to replace my present synthesizer keyboard with an Akai MPK-88,
which comes with an abundance of knobs and sliders.
IIRC you once mentioned the book "The Design of
Everyday Things" ;).
Yah. Knobs and sliders and such are very everyday things. So are
toothpicks. Now someone needs to come up with a Kickstarter to turn
toothpicks into a music controller.
