From across the pond, our buddy Scott Hobbs and the ATTIGO TT have integrated the touch screen into a DJ/mixing set up. The visuals are cool, the interface appears to be easy to use, and mixing is based on sensors. Here's a video that helps to demonstrate it's potential:

My problem with this stuff is that it's cool, it's mixing things that I love (tech and music). However, aren't you getting away from the art of the scratch DJ? If you got skills, you can just get a cut that has the same beats you would find on an mp3 file. You just look cooler too when you use tables.
People have their preferences on how they execute their art, so I can't knock this, but I just don't want to see the demise of an art because of technology.

if an art is born from a technology is created, you can't hate on advances in that technology or you might creatively cock block yourself.
