I see several subtle uses for this in day-to-day applications. When holding down the arrow keys, it would be nice if my cursor moved faster if I was pressing harder. Same with any key repetition. Right now, repeat speed is time sensitive, so if I'm backspacing to delete an entire paragraph, I need to wait a few seconds for it to speed up. Then I have to time it just right to prevent overshooting and deleting more than my target paragraph.
Another practical use--I wish my Tivo remote had pressure-sensitive keys. I could zip forward then gradually back off as I approach the end of my commercial block. Just like one of those professional video editing systems, where the operator has total control of how slowly/quickly they can zip through the video.
They should get rid of the "typing harder makes your letters bigger" part of the demo. It made me cringe.
