in Leopard vs Vista handwriting recognition on Mobilitysite
Your cursive doesn't suck, You have beautiful cursive :P It's just harder to write on the external wacom tablet & maybe you prefer writing in print.
Kewl video though. I love my tablet pc too, and re your cursive z remember you can teach vista that, that is how you write your z's.

in Apple doing a Tablet … on Scobleizer
I'm a medical student, and a tablet pc user. And i've read through the comments and am going to share my two cents.
I won't dispute that the current iteration of the tablet pc isn't perfect, but i will still admit its a hugely useful tool. Windows Vista, improves on the tablet functionality, and i can't wait until there are more players in the market place.
In my perspective one of the main reasons that the tablet pc isn't more popular is marketing.
I've been in love w/ the whole idea of being able to write on your pc, from the first days of grafitti. Honestly, i heard about the Newton after i heard about the tablet pc about 4 yrs ago.
I think the reason why tablets aren't more popular, honestly is marketing. i've found out about tablets, b/c i'm obsessed w/ technology, but i know before i got my own tablet, and i would rant to friends and classmates about it, noone knew what i was talking about.
They are rare to find in general retail, and even when stores carry them, their sales associates are clueless, or they are missing vital parts (LIKE THE PEN!!!)
When i finally got my tablet, and classmates, and teachers saw how i used it, they were in awe. Most people were like if they'd known about it when they were buying their notebooks, they'd have bought that instead of a conventional notebook.
I think MS has a huge potential market, but honestly the marketing for the tablet pc sucks. The uses are endless from the artistic/creative perspective, engineers, architects...students, lawyers...anybody that uses paper and knows how to write can benefit from the integration of the most intuitive form of recording and the technology available in today's modern computers.
Other issues w/ the tablet pc right now..are price point. In terms of power, and screen resolution, i think those are less of an issue, tablet specifications are on par w/ those of other currently available notebooks. I hope now that tablet functionality has been included w/ the Windows Vista OS that more manufacturers will jump into the market place and help to lower the price point.
I don't doubt that an Apple product would be a nice addition to the market place, would i switch, not absolutely sure, i'd have to relearn how to do the things i already know how to do.
Apple is known for aesthetically appealing products, that do what they're intended for. My issue w/ apple, is that they in themselves behave very niche like,
the price point for their products is also high, and i understand its b/c they're a smaller company, but sometimes their prices just seem ridiculously high.
For the most part, their products seem, well researched, and like alot of creativity goes into the process of coming up w/ a good product. i feel like the latest iteration of pc's was rushed however. The issues that the Macbooks & Macbook Pros had were a tarnish on Apple's record.
MS has good ideas...but i feel like the company has become too big and everything gets tangled up in the bureaucracy. They have good ideas, but issues, actually carrying them out to fruition. That & MS desperately needs help with Marketing. DESPERATELY.
