microsoft courier= cool

so the creator of the xbox is working on a ds like tablet thing for microsoft, and looks promising, if it has pressure sensitivity i can see this being a neat little sketchbook..

I want one.
Have some doubts though, will it accept pressure from the stylus? can you use your finger for more than just dragging & dropping? does the stylus act like a mouse, or just a writing tool? can gestures be done with the pen?
not in the mindset that it'd fail, but i'm skeptical of it living up to itself without being somewhat clunky, buggy, or slow. Will it have usb connections? Can i print my pages? If i plug an iphone into it will the universe implode? ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
want more inffoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

in theory that looks pretty good if it works well.
Very handy either way
it looks like it is moleskin size, and did you see the vid when she created a new journal? it was the moleskin cover..
I've been trying to think of what I would pay for this; What's the most I would pay. Absolutley no more than $700, and even that is a stretch. For $350 I can get a EEE-PC that does all (or most) of the same things (although in a less streamlined manner) and more, and for a cool grand I could pick up a Cintiq.
I get the feeling this is going to be somewhere between $650-1,100.
In the end, it's all about what it's worth to you, though.
Interesting to see stuff I've seen in scifi movies slowly come to life
This could also make some interesting games possible.
