While such tools can certainly be useful for certain types of studies, I would have to say we don't *need* them. It's perfectly possible to do great usability testing without any tools other than your eyes and a notepad, and in many cases, it's a lot less hassle (not to mention potentially less intimidating for the participant). What we certainly *do* need is more people doing more usability testing with more participants. Fancy tools won't magically make that happen -- we just need to JFDI and share the results :) Once a critical mass of people are doing that, the requirements for tools will probably fall out a lot more naturally anyway...
