Tenori-on -blueprint of a music revolution?

edit- actually I can't find any threads on this thing specifically. I think it fits more in D&D because this is more about its use as an instrument than the tech.

From the guy probably best known for Electroplankton, one of the most interesting "games" that aren't really worth buying for lack of ultimate value despite being pretty unique and innovative.

Unlike most synth toys, this seems to be able to accomodate a huge scope of expression, and unlike most synth apps, it does it in a more organic way, akin to a traditional instrument.

It's pretty versatile

It reminds one of Electroplankton, and this is both good and bad, I suppose. Apparently it's pretty limited in terms of long term use (limited to 16 loops, limited memory for user sounds) and serious composition is contingent upon finding some way to score, because you can't remember everything.
Oh yeah, and it needs to be affordable if it's going to be more than a Steel Battalion-esque ubertoy.

It has a lot of depth to it for a novelty. It goes way beyond Electroplankton, and I think it seriously has some potential. They're going to have to put efforts into evolving newer models, and find some way to get that ridiculous price down.
Just looked at that, the continuum looks like a sort of Ondes Martenot/moog emulator. The tenori on is like a rythmic sequencer that gies you complete (or at least damn near complete) control over the length, pitch and texture of the sounds, and lets you spontaneously apply various rythym patterns to them.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
I'm not trying to smarmy, I'm just curious if there's a greater distinction that I'm missing.
As it stands, it seems like if you were trying to use the tenori-on as an actual instrument in a performance scenario you would need to amplify somehow, at which point you might as well have your laptop on hand to enable your more versatile monome.
Keep in mind, I've never used a monome, all I vaguely know about it is from the monome website and this guy's blog: Avanturb
