Don’t bother with inking… I doesn’t have active digitizer. This means you have to touch the screen only with the pen.
The inking quality is somehow better towards the center of the screen. Not a pleasant experience.. has nothing to do with the handwriting. :D

Design looks good, but my main concern is about display quality and touchscreen usage in terms of it's abilities for inking (handwriting notes)...from what I read elsewhere, I think that this has 'soft-touch' screen which I guess is good for using with your finger instead of needing stylus...if that's the case I assume that's not so good for handwriting notes???

this is definitely the 1 i want. the only 2 faults i can even find is the OS choice (non-tablet) & battery life.

luckily the OS can be corrected easily with my dozen or so copies of Vista & XP Tablet lying around. has anyone heard of an extended battery being released for it? right now it's using a 4-cell & the 3 hours it is currently achieving sucks.
