The second link contains videos of the Audiopad in action, and they seem to be stored on a very quick server. (Via the Pho List).

This is VERY cool. the navigation concept seems smooth and easy to learn. I wonder how it'd do at anything not dance/electronica...

I also wish that the spinning circles around each "puck" would work as an "equalizer" instead, so you could tell which disc was producing which sound based on movement/pulsating.

I think that this system is inherently "electronic," but would easily work for other sub-genres other than dance music.

I guess you could use it as a simpler and more usable mixing board after you recorded all the other tracks- vocals, guitar, bass, drumbs, harp, glass harmonica... All you'd need is a "record" function...
