The Surface Pro 2 announcement today stroked my curiosity when it introduced specialized covers besides the typing ones, such as this:

I'm a photographer/retoucher, and I own a Wacom Intuos tablet for retouching jobs. The Surface Pro 2 almost makes it an on-the-go replace replacement for my desktop setup for photo retouches.
The problem is with just the tablet itself, you can draw on it, yes, and use the pen with Photoshop for retouches, but it nowhere near matches the ergonomics of a proper Intuos tablet. The Intuos has quick selection wheels and hotkeys that are crucial for retouching tasks.
Imagine this: A cover specifically for photographers, with all the controls of a Wacom tablet and more. This would truly replace the traditional setup of a desktop + wacom tablet. I would think that there would be more of a market for such an accessory over the "Remix" cover, amd it would certainly get people like me off the fence about getting a Surface Pro 2.
