I'm surprised that people question the usefulness of this. How about video games? Linux systems would be the second platform to receive this new input system, and we could make much more interesting use of it than te Wii has so far, if we want to. Snowboarding games, surfing games, super monkeyball games and dancing games. The possibilities are endless, and the crappy half finished minigames thrown out by Nintendo don't really do the device justice.

I was thinking the exact same thing, after all, that's what the board was created for. Using it as a general purpose imput device seems a bit silly, but there's still quite a lot of situations where special input devices will make a massive impact on the experience (like the ones you listed, and all the tilt-based games for the iPhone are a good example of this).
