I really wish the iPad came with a digital pen (stylus)

I wish the iPad came with a pen. It would be the perfect gadget for jotting notes during a meeting. I would love to trade my Samsung Q1 Ultra for an iPad if the iPad screen included an active Wacom-enabled (penabled) digitizer that allows one to use a stylus pen and "write" on the screen. I've been a huge fan of "inking" and that really began with the old Apple Newton Messagepad series.

So, will Apple eventually release an iPad that includes a stylus pen? At that point, it would really be a tablet and it wouldn't be a pad anymore. Maybe Apple plans to use the name iTablet in the future for a new device that will incorporate a robust operating system, an active digitizer, and all the other missing features that are not currently found on the iPad (like a USB port, an SD slot, a webcam, a kickstand, a removable battery, a video port, and more...)

I had a dream about a tablet PC

Yes, I have strange dreams. The other night, I had a dream that I was showing my tablet PC to an old medical school friend. I haven't seen him in many years, but he's been asking me questions about tablet computers on Facebook and he's also a huge fan of technology. In my dream, I was showing him all the handwriting recognition features, the colored ink, the drag and drop, the pen flicks, and more. I love how you can "hover" with the Wacom Penabled pen on the Tablet PC. You can't do that with a touch screen. He was so impressed by all these tablet features that he went out and got one himself! Which one did he get? The same one that I use - the Lenovo Thinkpad X200 Tablet PC.

I Love Pen Flicks

If you use a Tablet PC and you have Windows Vista, then you may have played with a feature called "pen flicks." It's a great way to navigate between pages and "flip" your way around sites. It almost makes you think that you're flipping through an electronic book. My hat goes off to those developers who came up with pen flicks. Bravo!
