I can say that there is no point in getting one unless I wanna look uber-cool and flashy in a public presentation or talk. The reason is that I find the pen pointer very annoying and difficult to use. The "virtual keyboard" in Windows XP Tablet Edition is very, very poorly designed and the handwriting recognition... well, don't bother. Now I have heard of techies reformatting their Tablets with GNU/Linux. Hmmm, I wonder how GNOME or KDE or Enlightenment would feel on a Tablet. Or even raw TWM on a bare X desktop. Heh heh. But as Wu Han, who has also fiddled with the same said Tablet, would put it: "Just get a Mac." I can't help but agree with a smile. I would never want to waste time with a Tablet with Windows installed. (Unless it's got Cygwin on it :P) I have used a Toshiba Satellite Tablet PC before, for a rushed multimedia project.
