Watchers

I have been using my first tablet pc(touchsmart tm2) almost for a year. And now i have some thoughts what they should be like in order to work efficiently.
First i thought of it as a moblile solution to take on travels, but over time started using it at home too. The idea of doing everything
on the screen with no other devices and wires sticking out was so apealing. Now i am painting and zbrushing only at my table pc.
I use my big computer to view results and make some final tweaks, only because the display quality of my tm2 is not that good.

The common problem that digital artists get(from reading forums and my own experiance) is a lack of onscreen buttons.
Because as it is now programs like photoshop are dependant on shortcuts. And if we take zbrush for example, you leteraly can`t do sh*t without ALT CTRL SHIFT.
So one of most obvious solutions is to have some customizable buttons, large enough not to mis-hit them. Here is a simple concept

personally i would perfer analog controllers over virtual, i think software buttons eat too much of working screen space . May be not everything should be virtualized, for exapmpe you cannot compare real keys of a midi controller to virtual keys. So why not keep the best of two worlds?
We can borrow something cool from ableton live in a way it assigns  program fuctions to physical controllers, i think it will work great in photoshop and other apps, something like this

Even if graphical software evolve to a state where no shortcuts are needed, we still need to work with both hands, because its more efficent.
Not like it is now when you only can manipulate one point on screen at a time. For some strange reasons pen and touch dont work simultaneously, its either one or another.
Here is some videos demonstating how interfaces could behave based on pen and touch or just multiple points of touch.
watch the videos pls to get the general idea)

I believe we have been stuck in crappy workflows for too long without even realizing they are crappy)),
its time they start doingtablet pcs for artists too, not only for general consumers.
