I had an excellent prof. who did this with a Tablet PC using PowerPoint's annotation tools. It seemed like a really natural use for a pen-based computer, and made for a good mix of results- nice, readable slides, but with the spontaneity and temporal benefits of a good chalkboard lecture.
I use Tablet PD with Windows Journal. In addition to what you say, other advantages over chalk are the brightness, the colors, and the ability to instantly post the lecture online. Later I transcribe the lectures into text and just copy the illustrations. Plus, I don’t have to deal with chalk on my shoes, pants, and lungs!

Yeah, this prof is going to be moving to a tablet PC soon because it's just too expensive to keep him supplied with transparencies.
