I'm with Robert on this one. I bought an X61 Tablet that I thought would be *really* cool. And it is!
But I came to realize the only time it really got used as a tablet was when my daughter wanted to draw on it, so it became little more than a Hi-Tech Etch-a-Sketch. You really have to have a mission-specific reason to have a tablet. Otherwise its just an awkward toy where you keep going back to the keyboard. That's my experience.
