Sorry, I couldn't readily find the original thread on this topic.
This was in today's Yahoo News:

Here's my concern about these things:
- extra weight added to the head of the guitar
- no value to acoustic purists who don't want anything electric on their instrument
- doubt about how well they work because it's believed they tune each string to the exact vibration of the note of the open string. This wouldn't allow for a tempered tuning necessary to play in different keys.
Open to correction, of course, but those are my concerns.
