Comment on Bill Gates: Microsoft pursuing 'a lot of' tablet projects

Comments

I have both a tc1100 and an iPad. I find that Windows XP Tablet's text recognition is phenomenal. However, my text input is faster one-handed on the iPad in portrait mode than it is on the tc1100 writing with the stylus. My text input with the landscape keyboard two-handed is almost the same as on a physical keyboard.

Also, the user experience on the iPad is much more refined.

When the iPhone/iPad ecosystem matures, I expect Apple to reintroduce the stylus. Either that, or someone will develop a bluetooth stylus. (Which would exploit the capacitative touchscreen, but add pressure sensitivity.)
