What do you need that a standard eBow can't give you?

Non-guitarists: An eBow is a hand-held device consisting of two coils
and a headphone amp chip powered by a 9V battery.  You hold it over
the guitar string where you'd normally pick, one coil senses the
guitar string motion, the other drives the guitar string, and you can
have infinite sustain.  It's very well named -- playing it is roughly
like bowing the string electronically.
