"Wacom will seek to drum up interest in its tablet technology by launching
the first desktop computers loaded with the Windows XP PC Tablet operating
system, only available for walkabout-type tablet PCs since late 2002.
Going to the desktop will give other users the benefits of the tablet
system, such as handwriting recognition, Wacom Australia-New Zealand
business representative David Spencer says.

"Doctors will be able to write on x-rays on their imaging systems," he says.
"Previously they had to append notes."

Wacom's pen technology allows a stylus to be used as a mouse. Its high-end
offerings in the Cintiq range allow drawing directly on the screen. Wacom,
whose entry-level equipment starts at $139, will introduce a 15in
interactive screen for $1500 and a 17in model for $2000; an 18in version is
also on the cards for about $3500."

Odd. Wacom already has a 15 and 18" LCD screen that you can write on.
Wonder how this is going to be different.

The difference is they are going to ship the Windows XP, Tablet PC Edition
with them.

This is something I asked for awhile ago.

Guess I would have to try one to see if I like it. I would think it would
be hard to write on a monitor but hopefully Wacom has figured that out. If
they have, it would be cool! Didn't see anything about resolution though.

Hi,
I do not know what they are doing with the sensitivity. However Microsoft
has specified some level of sensitivity that is very high for the Tablet PC
if I recall right.

On the monitor, or on a USB attached drawing pad?
