The newly introduced Compaq Tablet PC TC1000, functions like a laptop with a new wrinkle-- it allows you to write directly on the screen using a special magnetic pen. Here is how it works: a magnetic pen is used to write on the screen and after writing on the screen, the Tablet PC can either save your squiggles as a jpeg file (graphic file). Or, your handwriting can be converted directly into text for use in Microsoft Office. You can search your notes, send personalized handwritten emails to your friends, even surf the web and cut and paste html documents by simply circling the text or graphic and sending it to your Tablet. This Compaq Tablet PC is $1600, expect to see prices between $1600 and $3000 with the higher priced models integrating 802.11 wireless. http://thenew.hp.com
