I think that focusing on what it does NOT have is limiting the potential for creating new ways of behaving with technology. Tactile sense is very important to some things, but I think this is getting exciting in that it encourages us to think of ways to use gestures to do things we may not have thought of yet. I'm thinking in terms of interactive spaces myself and the ways to use physical movement to create alternate forms of interaction with our space and each other. Imagine if you could connect something like this to a mobile device. Free developer kits too so I expect very cool things from this kind of technology soon.
