I bought a used HP tc1100 tablet.  I think Windows XP's Tablet software is <i>amazing</i>.  When I hover over an entry field, a button appears to bring up the writing box, and the recognition is very close to 100%.  (I always print, however.  I hear the recognition for cursive writing isn't nearly as good.)  The industrial design on the tc1100 is on a par with Apple's, IMHO.<p>If Windows tablets can be this good while embracing the old Windows UI paradigms, Apple had better be mindblowingly good.  I would be very pleased if I can have good pressure sensitivity and accuracy with an eraser stylus, plus multitouch.<p>I think someone made a big mistake by not trying to sell this stuff to the public and concentrating on business instead.  Surfing with the stylus is very nice, I find.
