A knob that will "re-analog" the knobs via a touchscreen interface - a really high tech way to go backwards. How about desingning a better touch interface or, even better still, using existing tech. Here is the Griffin Powermate - a USB multi-purpose knob. Couple with a touchscreen and you get the same result. Select the digital knob by touching it with your left hand, adjust using the knob in your right.

Even worse, neither of those are actually analog devices - they both are quantized digital devices. What they're going for is the verisimilitude of an older way of doing things, and that itself encapsulates why it isn't necessary.
A digital wheel interface IS useful for some applications, but lets have no bones about it - it's digital.
Show me something with a true analog variable resistor, and then we'll talk.
