Since1968 blogged about  Apple trying to get a patent for touch-sensitive input devices.  Check out flashcomponents.net and navigate to Interfaces/widgets/Jogs/Potentiometer and Jog Knobs.  Run that swf on a touch sensitive screen and you've got a great example of prior art.   The only difference of operation is the skinning of the component.  Adobe should jump into this fight right away and contest Apple's patent submission.
