I’d like to see an Android version too

I’m assuming something with a thinner point would work on Windows 7, since it’s built to accept stylus input.

Probably vectoring though.

I am still waiting for the 7-9 inch slate you can write on. Hoping the tabletkiosk i7300 with dual mode will be out soon and not too highly priced.

ie, resistive alone is not taking away w7 features or multitouch.
