the physical size of buttons/knobs/sliders requires devices to be large enough to accommodate those elements. with a chip like soli, designers can create devices that are dramatically smaller.
as the soli gets smaller (which future versions likely will), you can imagine tiny devices that maintain rich interactivity.
