i've seen these devices around for a while. i can imagine mixing on
such a device, but i'm also unconvinced that its *necessarily* better
for such work than using a keyboard. i also have a lot of criticism of
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.
