Conceptually this is a pretty cool idea! I easily see the applications around web browsing or reading a doc, but a few practical problems stand in the way.
Navigation and clicking with the keyboard will be a huge problem. How could I move the mouse pad and simultaneously click? The demo video uses gaming, but most games still require use of both clicking on keys and a mouse click. If I tried to hold down a key on the keyboard, but wanted to click at the same time...do I have one finger move in mid air above some random part of the keyboard?
Hopefully there's continued refinement though...I'm surprised there hasn't been much thought about replacing extra keys with more customized multi-touch gestures.
