Comment on Why Tablets Will Succeed

And another important point: There's a lot of momentum (possibly misguided, but it's there) toward "paperless" everything right now, but the problem is that you can't just draw all over a PDF. Rather, you can draw all over things, but it's super awkward with a mouse, and my pencil has a fantastic user interface that's hard to beat.

Tablets, though? Here's a device that promises to actually let me use my great UI (pen/pencil/stylus) to actually draw all over documents I want to edit. I think that that, together with the desire to go paperless, is going to be a big factor in wide adoption of tablets.
