Interesting concept, it'll be interesting to see whether applications make use of it as an input device, like a graphics tablet. If done right it could put a serious dent in that market!

Honestly, I think it's unlikely. From the looks of it, I think they're going for more of a simple multimedia UI, like in iOS. You might get a simple drawing app or something like Crayon Physics Deluxe (which would be awesome on a 27in screen) but I don't think you'd see anything more advanced.

We'll have to wait and see though I guess.
