Touch screen tablets

One vivid memory I have of the Microsoft Tablet PC launch I attended several years ago was the (then) Compaq rep explaining that you could rest your hand on the screen and it would not interfere with data input. Coming from Pocket PC world, where that was a no-no, I was quite impressed. I'm not sure that a touchscreen is good for handwriting recognition, but I think it will boost sales. The pen takes some getting used to; poking icons with your finger is a no-brainer. I hope this is one step forward for Tablet PC and not two steps back. jkOnTheRun: Hello touchscreen.
