Yes, I agree on the appeal of the pen and the complication of the PC. That's why I think that apple are so wrong on the iPad... A simple device with a notetaking capability would own. Although, it is getting easier to use the PC as a notetaker under Win 7. Still not dead simple, but simple enough for most laptop-bound execs... Hey Sumocat thanks for visiting!

To clarify, I'm referring to the current lure of pen computing. I love it (obviously), but it's not pulling people away from pen and paper. There's too much convenience and comfort with paper, while Tablet PCs are, well, PCs. It's too much hassle for most people. The one thing I see that could turn this around is the new trend of pen input on eReaders. Instant-on, long battery life, and simple interface make the experience much more convenient. People write in real books so it makes sense they'll want to write in eBooks too. This trend could make pen input a must-have feature in the future, a requirement for any device in the eBook market, but we're not there yet.
