Yeah, this is pretty evolutionary stuff. The necessary technology to build one of these suckers has been around for the better part of a decade at least. It's just that nobody thought to put it together this way before.
Colour me skeptic, but I see this as being a niche product at best. There's a number of commercial applications, true, but I don't really see the home user having a lot of practical use for it. And really, even the bulk of the commercial applications depend heavily on the thing's durability and MTBF. It's no good to anyone if it can't stand up to the rigors of daily use.
The keyboard and mouse have been around for decades and there's a reason for that. It's a simple, practical, reliable interface. Other stuff has come along and some of it has even carved out a market - Wacom tablets are a prime example of that. But as for you and me, I don't think we ought to be rushing to throw our mice in the bin.
