The most striking feature of Tablet PCs is that the device is flat (simulating a pad of paper) and is operated using a pen. The pen is a rather sophisticated input device that can be used as you would normally use a mouse. The pen also enables handwriting and gestures, which can in turn be recognized as regular input by the Tablet PC OS. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, a superset of regular Windows XP, supports all of this extra functionality. Hardware manufacturers have to support this functionality by providing technology that can sense the position of the pen on the display, such as integrated digitizers.
