Edit: SPeaking of which though, the first company to put out a mobile digital notepad that all it does it let you write on it, will become absolutely rich if priced correctly.

That's what I want. Sitting with a pen and writing digital notes for my classes, and I know for a fact that I won't get a tablet before I find one that will let me do that.

Windows Tablet PC's did this 10 years ago (and still today). It didn't make anyone rich. The technology is called Digital Ink. I sat in the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and watched Bill Gates unveil it at Comdex in 2000. It never caught on.

Btw, the $360 million in sales Apple did over the weekend I think they were happy with.
