honestly trying to use audio applications as they exist in present day  
with your finger is not going to be fun. I also don't believe it's as  
simple as programs just being able to support it, programs really need  
their UI designed around this type of interface idea to make them  
truly usable. I have a tablet pc, I have a wacom cintique, great for  
drawing, but your standard OS and most application stuck to navigate in.
