I think the Cintiqs are a little more expensive than a multi-touch monitor.



but why? I'm betting part of their cost comes from their limited scale.


because Wacom makes pressure sensitive tablets/screens specifically for cases where pressure sensitive is necessary.

Apple would need to outright purchase Wacom if they were going to incorporate pressure sensitive screens - because to do it right, you need to license Wacom's patent library. Which Wacom won't do because they make a killing already by having exclusive technology.
