The UI layer may need to be specific to the supported platform, but hopefully the business logic will be portable.
I purchased one of the Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch devices on the weekend. Takes a little getting used to and seems to have spazz attacks occasionally but seems ok. Haven't tried it on my Windows 7 or OSX machines yet. Just Vista. A quick test with Delphi 2010 gestures and it wouldn't recognise my custom gesture (no matter how hard I tried to emulate the gesture). Watched a short video of the mouse on Engadget. They weren't overly impressed with it, especially for sideways movement.
