I think touch screen support makes the most sense, when you can spread the UI for various Sonar modules over different displays, preferably making use of displays almost everybody has already: smart phones and tablets.
 
A 10"+ tablet would be great for fader control
7" tablets and smart phones would suffice for various FX or soft synth real time controls.
 
Or imagine running Sonar on your desktop, but having 2 Lenovo Yoga units connected for touch control of any part of Sonar you choose to display on them.
 
Is this already supported?  Or has anyone attempted such a setup using studioware panels or some other method?

Yes, check out the TouchDAW app on Android.

I use it with my Android phone. A bit tricky to set up, but once done, very handy. I mostly use it for the transport controls, though.

Is there anything that would run on a Blackberry tablet?

I use a Surface RT as a control surface, no muss, no fuss.

Hate to plug iPad again, but V-Control Pro and Lemur are incredible.

Mike,
How are you setting up the Surface to work as a control surface externally? I'd love to do this...

I use Remote Desktop Connection. I was skeptical this was all going to fly since my DAW is still on Win 7. I was pleasantly surprised when I could move faders etc. Mostly I use it as a remote transport control when I record in a room other than the one my DAW is in. The screen is a bit small for full-on mixing though.
 
Regards,
 

thanks! :) I'm going to check out the Android app as well - that seems very intriguing.
