The Intuos tablet can’t be used a tablet PC by Josh when his wife is not using it for calligraphy :)

big downside…otherwise, I’m sure it’s MUCH better for calligraphy.

They can recognize the tilt angle of the pen, which is pretty important for calligraphy (at least, so far as I know).

I don’t think any tablet PCs can do this; their pen sensors are less sensitive.

Disclaimers: I’ve never done calligraphy and I haven’t actually used an intuos (I have a graphire).

Also: getting her started on a drawing tablet might be the key to convincing her to get a tablet PC for her next laptop…
