I've been using my Tablet (Gateway) for a year now, and am very impressed. Personally I largely rely on the Tablet functions for meetings, using OneNote, and for reading, especially on airplanes. I've seen students use it for notetaking, doodling, storyboarding, and writing. The art programs are tantalizing, if young. Maybe Acrylic will have Tablet functionality. Not enough games, though. Thanks for the pointer to Magic Paper, Alan.

It's good to know there are better pens. So tell me how you use the Tablet? Are there any must have apps?

I've used a Toshiba Portege M200 for about 18 months, and I've just upgraded to a Tecra M4. The Portege has a much better form factor, but the great big Tecra is also faster, and the bigger screen is addictive. Better functionality all round, with even an S-Video out for insta-TV playback. I tried out the HP 1100, loved the screen, didn't like the XGA limitation, and found the pen interface much less responsive than the Toshiba's. YMMV! Congrats on the tablet.
