Buying that company is what got them multitouch, which is what made the iPhone and iPad possible.
It's funny, but they're really just closing the loop on that acquisition by making a programmable keyboard.
By the way, a friend of mine had the Fingerworks (I use a Kinesis Advantage) and in the winter it would always go wonky because of static. He wound up having the company buy a humidifier... for his keyboard. I thought it was a neat idea (especially switching between typing and mousing by just sliding around) but I found the lack of feedback jarring and didn't fall in love with it.
