tablet

This thing ROCKS! I've had it 9 months and use it every day. It was easy to use right out of the box. The handwriting recognition is surprisingly accurate, the virtual notepad is incredibly useful, and the form factor is great. And it is robust. I've dropped it and carted everywhere without problems. (Onto carpet. But still.)

It's not good for high end games, but it runs turn-based strategy games. (Sims, CivIII.) I recommend an extra battery and a spare stylus for emergencies.

I've experienced a demo of this very machine, and I must say that I'm impressed. I was skeptical, until I held it for myself. The handwriting function to create documents does take some getting used to, but a sneaky use of it is to put notes on standard documents for later review.

The best use at home is to remotely connect to my MP3s and MPEG videos across my wireless network. I do that with a laptop computer now, but the tablet form would be so much easier.
