Awesome! This is the second time I've seen position and orientation aware widget-things, and my only question is: why don't we have them already?

I only wish I hadn't limited the "complain" button to 72 hours. How do I even know you? :(

"€9.700,"
I'm betting it's due to IP patent laws. Too many conglomerates want to (over)charge for stuff like that.
Apple is only a small part of that 'we want to patent every cool touch/module widget item in the world' scenario.
Now, I'm not saying Apple/other companies don't have good ideas. I just hate the anti-hack/anti-share/pro-DRM/never-share-anything/keep-it-protected-too-long/don't-allow-others-to-innovate-by-using-too-broad-patent company culture we're currently a part of.

I fully agree. I'm not a 'fan boy' in the least. The company and it's ideals, I really don't like. Unfortunately it's that same company that makes pretty nice things.
The one nice thing with apple products becoming more popular is it's forcing other companies step their game up, I look forward to the day another company starts making comparable products without compromise or excuses.

Again, thanks to wimp.com..found a new mashup I like.
The table he uses seems pretty nifty too. Digital version of ScreamTracker I used to mess with back in the 80s, especially when he goes to that sine wave synth mode.
