I don't think will ever release another MPC, so Akai ought to start R&D on potential future apps that could use this technology. Velocity and aftertouch are taken care off just by the nature of these screens. Clearly they'll be in future iterations of iOS products. Obviously I'm suggesting a full featured MPC app. The current MPC Akai OS could run on even 1st gen iphones. MPC cpu's are no more powerful than 386/486 era chip, and in the last 6 years no MPC has had more than 128/192MB of RAM. If a case could ever be made for a $100 app this would be it, and the perceived value conversation would get very interesting. Personally an MPC in portable software form would merit a price like that and be an altogether different situation than the recent Fairlight debacle.
Of course none of this will ever happen because it's Akai and what I'm saying makes sense. Sensibility is not Akai's strong suit.

Apologies for the typos.
I totally agree Jamie!
It's ashame even with the limited processeing power of the Whole MPC line that they can still out sequence any iPad app.
