And in fact the 2000 series does both. It has a touch screen that responds
to my PPC stylii, my finger, chopsticks etc, but also comes with an active
digitizer, which lets you move the cursor around while hovering over the
screen a bit, no contact, and responds to pressure differences, which might
matter to me if I had any artistic talent. Plus responding to the buttons on
the stylus, for right clicks or whatever, which a touch screen would not do.
