I have a greta use for this, although it's _very_ niche. My spare time hobby is stage lighting for rock bands. I've been working on a new lighting controller and looking for exactly this sort of thing.
The problem with almost all current lighting controllers is that the user interface for configurng the system is horrendous. The exodesk, with its large display area and multi-point touch would be perfect for a much more intuitive configuration system.
Not even one positive comment? No one is excited that they are making a highly affordable surface for 10 times+ less? We are a startup/hacker community after all, I don't think it is too much to ask!
I think EXOdesk and Microsoft's Surface will probably have their lunch eaten by the more successful tablet manufacturers. They already have huge app ecosystems and it isn't an insurmountable technical challenge to increase a tablet's size by a factor of 4.
That being said, I hope they do succeed. The more competition the better.
This could be interesting as a secondary display. There are lots of ingesting things to leave running (dashboards), and a big tablet for doing some kinds of input.
Plus, games. Both as an immersive input device in regular games, and a great party tabletop games platform.
Higher resolution than 1080p would be nice for such a large panel. Figuring out a way to give haptic feedback (screen vibration under input area) would be nice too.

If only I had the money...

Isn't that low for a computer screen?
